[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 135194, member: 4885"] I talked to Kirby at length regarding the scope. I've hunted with a 20x scope before and it was too much for the areas I hunt. A lot of angles up and down, tough to find and stay on animals after the shot. Since the reticle is only accurate at the highest magnification, I think I'd rather have the 15 for the vast majority of the shooting this rifle will be doing, however I'm sure there will be times that I wish I had a bit more magnification. BuffaloBob, the 56mm's and larger that I have shot, where never real comfortable for me. I even like smaller than 50mm from an ergonomic standpoint. Yes, I'm a little older than 40, but have been blessed with excellent vision. If worse comes to worse and I either need the higher magnification or the larger objective, my 7mm could get the hand me down Night Force and be quite happy. The hardest decision on this entire project was the color for the stock. You see, I'm somewhat color-blind. I can actually see in the dark quite well, but have trouble with reds/browns/greens (go figure??). My LR shooting partner recommended plain old black, I couldn't just go with a single color so I decided on the black marble (like the one on the A5 page at mcmfamily.com) Thanks for the input guys, Don [/QUOTE]
