[QUOTE="NFHunter, post: 2798225, member: 126705"] Thanks for the tips!! I do like the Nightforce scopes I've looked at online. I'm hoping that a 5-25x56 isn't too heavy. Also, I've always thought that that a first focal plane scope was superior but looking around the forum it seems that a lot of hunting scopes are actually SFP. Wouldn't a FFP be better incase you aren't zoomed in all the way and want to hold over using the lines on your reticle? I'm now leaning toward the 24" barrel. I didn't want to limit myself but I also believe in going with what is practical and outgrow your gear before upgrading. If I am trying to reach distances that are being limited by a 24" barrel, it would be a good problem to have because I would have to start building a new firearm, haha! Also with my 6" suppressor on, would that increase the pressure and thus velocity beyond a 26" barrel? The suppressor has a quick attach muzzle break that is installed on the gun and it's super easy to install and remove after that, so can be shot in both configurations. [/QUOTE]
