[QUOTE="txgolfer45, post: 466832, member: 30634"] Background: Looking for a scope for hunting and long range shooting (targets or varmints like coyotes or hogs). My rifle is a Savage 10 Precision Carbine in .308. It won't be going on missions overseas. Shooting will be at a variety of distances not just one distance. I have a good rangefinder. I want a variable scope with either mil/mil or moa/moa. I've been researching the following (yes, I've used the search function extensively): Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP variety of reticles (new models)($850) Sightron SIII 3.5-10x44 LR IRMAO or MD/CM (new models)(guessing $999 for IRMOA and $750 for MD/CM) Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 (zero stop? TMR, mil/mil or NP-R1 moa/moa?)($1500 - 1800 depending upon options) The Vortex are just now coming into dealers hands after a delay due to problems with the first batch last summer. That makes me a little leery. Vortex CS has excellent reputation. Sightron has an excellent reputation. But, these are new models. Availability is 60 - 90 days out per Sightron USA. Nightforce is available now. For my purposes, should I get the zero stop? Since I have a good range finder, I could save some money by going with moa/moa instead of mil/mil (not a significant amount). Based upon research here, I've left off Leupold due to numerous comments about price for what you get. I'm leaning towards MOA/MOA. Help!!!!! [/QUOTE]
