[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1912621, member: 12282"] OK, looking for a light 25x ish power scope. 6x would be "highest" low starting point, and honestly, not to my liking. 4 or 5 would be better. The Leupold VX-6HD 4-24x52 weighs 25.9 oz and is the winner in weight category. 34mm tube, which I am meh about since I doubt I need that much elevation, but OK. Leupold has excellent warranty and can be had for $1850 right now in once reticle version. Vortex Razor AMG 6-24x50 weights 28.8oz. 30mm tube. Vortex has a pretty stellar warranty too. The 6x starting point troubles me. Sometimes things happen much closer than you expect. Looks to be around $2500 Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 28.6 oz, 30mm tube, around $2150 I think. Nightforce warranty is transferrable, but they clearly state its for materials and workmanship only. So less coverage than with Vortex and arguably Leupold March is light, but if you need repairs you have to ship to Japan. And the warranty is much poorer. I get it, the best warranty is the one you never need. But things happen. I am wondering if anyone with experience can comment or compare these scopes...... Optical quality? Other issues? I have several Leupolds, and would rather not put all my eggs in one basket. I'd like to have a Vortex. The 6x starting point saddens me. Were it 5 or 4, I think it would be a done deal..... [/QUOTE]
