[QUOTE="Bear 9362, post: 731519, member: 13286"] Hey 308jagermeister , What scope do people recommend is abit like asking what is the best long range caliber???:D I was told once that when it comes to optics "you get what you pay for". Things you need to consider are weight ( are you carrying it around all day in the hills or driving to a hunting stand?), objective size ( light gathering ability in low light? 50 mm compared to a 40mm?) Cheek weld, one of several important factors in consistant accurate shooting. 50mm objective will sit higher and may require an adjustable cheek piece. What is the minimum and the maximum range that you are wanting to shoot? this will be reflected in the magnification range you choose and the amount of elevation adjustment you will require. One scope that is proving popular down under is a March 2.5 - 25 x 42. Others I would consider are the bulletproof Nightforce 5.5-22x50, Leupold mark 4, VX3 etc... ( wish they would make a mark 4 in a 3-18x44) and finally a Swarovski Z5 or Z6 BT with a custom elevation turrent using a 250yard zero to help with the small ( 17 moa?) one rotation of elevation. ([U]Great glass though.)[/U] Regards Steve. [/QUOTE]
