Hard to find scopes with this criteria:

[jrsolocam]

This is what I want in my next LR scope.

1. SFP
2. Lighter weight, < 25 oz. or so
3. About 20 MOA per turn
4. 3-4 to 15-20 magnification range.

What I've found is that only the March 2.5-25 fits this. NF NXS is too heavy, Premier LT is FFP, Viper PST and Kahles KX418 have limited adjustment.

Many are close, and I don't want another Leupold M4. What am I overlooking? Thanks.

hey there...

zeiss conquest 4.5-14 or 6.5-20 are both under your 25oz limit and i think they both use 18 iphy per turret revolution...
the ones i have looked through have excellent glass

however i am not too fond of the reticle selection. it would be nice if they used moa instead of iphy and had a matching moa reticle like nightforce's npr reticles...

elevation adjustment may also be a factor depending on your caliber and what range you want to shoot to... the 4.5-14 has ~68 iphy elevation and the 6.5-20 only has ~45iphy... but a canted base could take care of that dilema...

How about the HUSKEMAW, if I remember correctly 23 oz, 20 moa per revelution 60 moa overall 5x20 power

Yes, the Huskemaw comes pretty close to that criteria. I have two of them and have been using them for a few years with excellent results. I consider them equal, maybe better than my NF and Mk4's for my long range hunting.

Grey fox, you did happen to be at the huskemaw rendezvous this past weekend were you?

No, but i had read something on another post that mentioned it. Was it a long range shoot?

 

[bowhunter42]

It was a longrange shoot, and antler trade show, and a whole lot of fun! I really cant wait for next year.

Thanks, I had forgotten about the Huskamaw. I guess people that use them really like em.

Minox ZA5 3-15x42 is <15oz and has 60 minutes of travel. 4-20x50 is 19oz and 80 MOA travel. Even the 6-30x56 is less than 25oz.

I have four rifles and all of them have Huskemaws and am building a 5th one in 6.5x284 and yes it will be wearing a Huskemaw. I love them, They do what they were designed to do very well.gun)

That's very true. Those that don't like them typically quit using them

Not sure about 20 clicks/turn but otherwise these seem to fir your request. BTW, the Elite line is pretty good stuff, built on history of old American Optical.

Not sure how AO relates to them but Elite's are the old Bausch & Lomb scopes. Very good scopes for the money!

Ah, good catch. My employer has remnants of some of both of those old lines and I'm always mixing them. I think you're right that it's B&L.
