[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 299434, member: 10306"] I use a brunton ADC summit and I think that it is the minimal quality that I would go with. I would like a Krestel 3000 or better (3500), and yes the krestels are better. I also use a protractor with tipit and a weight attached to find my angle, but an angle/cos indicator is optimal. I really think that since your already getting the nightforce scope, I would get the Defensive Edge combo with the anti-cant and the cos indicator. I'm also not a big fan of 56mm objectives just because I find them bulky, but my riggs are always on the light side. For a designated long range rifle the 56mm will be fine. Swarovski is the best, but the most $$. get the rangefinder that is the absolute best for your budget, dont cheap out here. leica, swaro, ziess is all you want. If you have no budget for a rangefinder save until you can get a good one, in the mean time get good with a range finding reticle. I know absolutly nothing about PDA's so I wount chip in. For optics I have found Vortex to be outstanding for the money with a garantee that puts everyone else to shame. I use dimondback 8-42mm and love them, and ther tough. My brother-in-law has a Nomad spotting scope and for $450 CAD it is one heck of a good optic. I guess it all comes down to budget. [/QUOTE]
