[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 143736, member: 3776"] [ QUOTE ] Thanks for the reply JE. While cost is always a concern, it's not really the issue. I have a Schmidt and Bender Zenith 3x12x50 on a 7STW and a 3x12x56 Zeiss Diavari on a 300 Weatherby. In low light these scopes are in another class (especially the Zenith), but I’m not sure they're a necessary, and not a luxury. I have several Leupold scopes, mostly 3.5x10x40, and they have always performed well. I recently put a 3.5x10x44 Conquest on a 300 Win and a 7wsm, and to my eyes anyway, they seem brighter than the Leupold. I just ordered the 338 RUM and have not received it yet. I’m not sure of the recoil but I just want to make sure the scope I purchase is able to survive. I will take your advice and look at the Leupold, maybe the 50mm will make a difference. Thanks again, [/ QUOTE ] Since cost is not an issue,then the Nightforce scopes are the way to go,turret adjustments are precise and accurate as well as adjust in MOA's..
