[QUOTE="rolly, post: 807749, member: 12073"] I am looking for a new scope for my 308 bolt gun, but haven't been in the scope market for years and learning about a ton of newer/better features, NONE of my previous scopes have ever had. Zero stop, First Focal Plane, Illuminated reticles, side focus, exposed turrets, mil/mil settings, 30mm tube, lots of elevation adjustment, etc (things I would want)... The plan for the gun is obviously long range hunting (600 yd max), but capable of M.O.M. (minute of man, torso shot) at 800-1000 yds. Not dropping Elk at 3.9 miles or p-dogs at 1900 yds. Nothing like that. Just want to spot, stalk, range, and cold bore one shot drop any antelope or deer at 600 or less. I have shot a couple dozen deer over 350 yds out to 450 yds with a Tikka M695 in 7mm Mag and 3-9x Nikon Monarch for years. Going tactical/long range mid level scope price point $900 or less. Here's the ones I've been looking at, but after 50 reviews of X vs. X and 1000's of opinions, I haven't gotten any closer to a decision. I know these don't have all the features I want in a single scope, but which are the best fit for what I'm trying to do, with features and price being most important, followed by warranty (knock on wood, I've never had a major scope malfunction).
