[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 702491, member: 10832"] Jeff, Not sure you are going to find many options. The problem you are going to run into is that the manufacturers that can compete with NF are mostly going to be in MIL and/or FFP. It is crazy to me but there is a real gap IMO in the market for the kind of scope you are asking for. And you know me. I am a FFP guy that leans toward MIL but even so it seems crazy that someone else isn't trying to corner this market. March does make a 1/4 MOA scope with everything you want. The only likely drawback is the objective size of 42mm but the reviews are stellar glass so you may find you don't need more. These are getting excellent reviews from all circles. This is the best site for specs. It is under the compact line.

[URL="http://opticsthoughts.com/index.php/rifle-scopes/4-rifle-scope-reviews"]Rifle Scopes[/URL] My guess is you aren't going to want to go down on glass from what you are used to in the NF so that only really leaves you with a few to choose from anyway. Premier- As good or better IMO than NF but I think they are all FFP. IOR- better glass than NF, durability varies between models so do your research S&B- As good or better all around. I know they make a 1/4 MOA turret and I believe a reticle too but I think they all may be FFP, double check me on that though. And the price may be over your range. Sightron III will come really close but I don't believe they have a zero stop yet, heard it is in the works, and their reticle has a center dot and me be thicker than you want. Good Luck! Scot E.
