[QUOTE="BJH, post: 1571604, member: 93876"] I would recommend looking at all of the variables when considering a scope. I understand saving weight on a hunting rifle. But a Sendero rifle chambered in 338 RUM is not exactly a lightweight rifle. When I built my 1st long range hunting rifle I did so on a sendero rifle. I ended up going with the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50. With the scope and a bipod the rifle weighs just over 18#. And it has been used as a backcountry pack rifle for a lot of years. The reason I went with the Nightforce for a hunting rifle is the internal adjustment of 100 MOA, Zero-Stop, tracking, and glass/build quality. I put a Nightforce 40 MOA rail on the gun and have yet to run out of elevation. I decided that I would be the limiting factor in how far I can shoot instead of having my gun or optics limit me. You have a rifle capable of shooting a LONG ways! Don't put a scope that will limit the rifle or yourself. I would highly recommend the Nightforce NXS or ATAC-R for a hunting scope! [/QUOTE]
