[QUOTE="simone, post: 2951609, member: 103268"] [SIZE=17px]Hi, i recently got a good new job so of course i didn't lose time ordering a custom rifle 😂 it is in 308 with a Defiance ga hunter action and bartlein #3 contour 22 inch barrel with a manners mcs-t stock. It will be amazing. I just have to choose a scope to put on it. The rifle will be used for hunting with shots inside 500 yards. The system must be very accurate because i will shoot also small roe deer (other than bigger wild boars and red deer) and the ideal shot placement is more or less a 5 inch circle in those small animals. The rifle will weight between 11 and 11.5 lbs with bipod, sling and the scope (11.5 with a 30 oz scope, 11 with a lighter one). This weight is ideal for me since i am young and fit and i already have a couple lighter rifles for stalking inside 250 yards. About the scope, i thought: -weight max 30 oz -30 mm tube (i just don't need the larger ones keeping shots inside 500 yards) -50 mm bell -min magnification between 2 and 4 -max magnification between 12 and 20 -if the max magnification is 15 or lower, i could consider also a SFP cause i would take most shots when i need to use the reticle for windage holds at max power anyway -exposed elevation turret -exposed or capped windage turret -MIL turret/MIL reticle. Here in Italy we only use metric system and it's much easier to work with MILs for me -i give more importance to reliability and tracking than to image quality (i shot often at dawn so the image must be decent) I have no budget limits but i don't want TT, ZCO, swaro or USO scopes (i prefer more traditional looking scopes) European scope makers, a part from S&B, seem not to put MIL reticle on any hunting scope so compensating for wind becomes even more challenging than already is. For me the NF nxs 3.5-15x50 SFP would have been PERFECT but it seems that there isn't a MIL version.. how is that? It seems absurd to me! I already have a SHV 4-14x50 F1 which is amazing for me (just short eye relief), but, since the rifle costed me 8k USD (european prices ahah), i thought that this rifle deserves a higher quality scope. I could be wrong on this. Thanks guys!![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
