[QUOTE="308win, post: 1940066, member: 102230"] Hey man, just got my ATACR 5X25 F1 so I'll give you my 2 cents. First of all, love the scope. Never been able to shoot at full magnification with my other optics, this one, no problem. My only complaint would be the small eye box. In regards to your question, I would not do the 7x35, just too darn heavy. You said you were using this as a hunting scope for a hunting rifle then weight and sight picture are working against you with these scopes. I put this one on my M70 featherweight while I'm waiting on my other rifle to get built. Lets just say, it aint a featherweight no more! The scope is heavy and big! I too will be hunting with the rifle I'm building, but I'm not having to carry it far. My hunting set up is a 8ft flatbed on my pickup that I sit over a canyon so I don't have to carry far at all.;) Back at 5x I wouldn't have any problem with the scenario you described in your post. Not sure why you did unless you were set at 20x? With that being said, If I were you and wanting a NF, I would be looking into NX8 series. I put a 2.5x20 on a friends M70 Featherweight 300WSM last year and that rifle is still what I would consider a "hunting" weight rifle.
