[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 213524, member: 319"] I agree with the 50mm choice. Also you mentioned being concerned about parallax error and I concur if you're going to start practicing stretching the range, so the LR version with sidefocus is the choice. That said, I know you said you're set on brand choice and if so, that's fine as the above is a very decent scope that will serve you well. However, your first post makes it sound like optical quality is quite important to you. You even said you'd carry a bit more weight for better optics. You also said you'd want to use it as a spotting scope substitute (though I must say only do that on already identified targets--no "scanning"). And if you're really worried about a scenario such as the one Coues Sniper describes and want to hedge your bets, even with a 50mm objective there are other scopes that will do better. Given all that, I'd really have to look at other brands. This is after owning/using the exact scope described above so I know it well. If you're limited to a similar price, I'd give a hard look at choices such as the Conquest or even one of the new 6500s. If you can spend a bit more, an IOR or Nightforce is going to get the job done better. I really just think you'd be happier in the end. [/QUOTE]
