[QUOTE="camomdvl, post: 1671963, member: 70160"] Hi folks, I am looking at getting a new scope for a recent 6.5CM hunting build. I have a set of parameters I am trying to keep within, and have narrowed the field to a handful of scopes that fit the criteria. I’m looking for input and suggestions from people that have used these scopes and possibly other scopes that I may have missed. My intended use is for a scope that can double as a lightweight spotting scope. I glass with a pair of 10x42 binos and sometimes just need a bit more to determine if the critter is worth walking over to. I don’t do much specific judging of animals, so I am happy with the trade off of using a scope as a spotter. I do however want much higher quality glass than I would normally need to engage targets. My criteria are as follows: FFP, true tracking for dialing, <30 oz, high quality glass (Japanese or US), 50mm obj (for light gathering at high magnification without sitting the scope too high off the rifle), ~20x max zoom, maximum 5x low end zoom, preferably 30mm tube As far as I can tell, this leaves the options at: Weaver tactical FFP 4-20x50; 28 oz; Japan Hawke Frontier FFP 4-20x50; 22 oz; Japan Crimson Trace 3 series tactical FFP 4-20x50; 30 oz; Japan Crimson Trace 5 series tactical FFP 3-18x50; 30 oz; Japan March FFP 3-24x52; 25 oz; Japan Any input or corrections on those scopes would be greatly appreciated, or suggestions of other scopes that fit the criteria. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
