[QUOTE="treillw, post: 1132149, member: 92442"] I'm looking for a scope to put on a 7.5 pound .300 win mag hunting rifle that will be used primarily for elk and deer. I want it to be first focal plane. I want the minimum magnification not much higher than 3x. I want to have the maximum magnification in the 20x range for spotting shots and shooting around 1200 yards. I am willing to spend $2000 to $3000. I have done a lot of reading and research and have two scopes in mind at this point. The US optics LR-17 3.2-17 x 44 mm and the March 3-24 x 52mm. These are my thoughts on the two scopes based on what I've read (I haven't found a lot of reviews on the US Optics scope): [U]March Pros:[/U] Large zoom range Lightweight [U]March Cons:[/U] Finicky parallax adjustment I heard it can be blurry at higher magnifications I can see repairs being a hassle if anything goes wrong with it [U]US Optics Pros:[/U] Lifetime Warranty with supposed great customer service Anti cant level inside the scope - seems like it would be really nice to not have to look outside the scope to see the level. [U]US Optics Cons:[/U] Supposed to tunnel at lower magnifications haven't seen many reviews [U]Random Thoughts:[/U] I can get the March for 20% off MSRP. Does US Optics ever have sales? I wish the Nightforce scopes had a broader magnification range. Which do you guys think would be the better choice? Any other scope recommendations are welcomed. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
