[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2143862, member: 96274"] I thank you guys for the help and opinions. This you could say is more for curiosity and wanting to know what else is out there for quality scopes. Right now I have two Sig Tango 6’s and they’re pretty darn good. Definitely better then the Nightforce SHV and NXS I used so that’s what makes me leery of the NX8. Though to be fair I’d probably be a bigger fan of the NXS if I could of found it in mils but I don’t think it’s offered in anything but moa. Sort of the same for Leupold scopes, don’t get me wrong I think there the best thing to put on a classic walnut stock deer hunting rifle but lacking in dial up turrets. I hear of too many people having an issue with the turrets on the mark 4, 5 and 6’s to really wanna give them a shake. For magnification range I would stay in the 20-25X range. As JMGamesniper pointed out you tend to get more distortion or “error” in higher magnification and it’s really not necessary, in fact I shoot best when the crosshairs cover a lot of target and I just “float” it around center. For objective diameter I would lean towards 56mm just because it has the potential to gather more light and excel in low light shooting. That said being a 50mm objective would not be a deal breaker. The same with main tube diameter, I would definitely go with 34 or bigger if an option regardless of weight gained but 30mm on a quality scope would probably serve me well too. I know what I’m asking from the scope is a lot and really at different ends where I’d probably be better off with a Leupold 3-9X for deer and a Tangent Theta for long range steel. But if you could only have one to do both what would it be? [/QUOTE]
