[QUOTE="camomdvl, post: 1672528, member: 70160"] Thanks guys for all the help, this is awesome! Also worth mentioning that I am pretty firmly in the mil camp. So it looks like I need to add the NF NX8 to the list. Not sure how I missed that one. I run a pair of Tract binos and quite like them, but the toric scope is just a bit too heavy for my liking. I was also hesitant about the Vortex AMG, but it seems the large FOV makes up for the 6x? Very good to know, learn something new everyday. Thanks for that! So it looks like my recommended list for my set of requirements would look like: March 3-24x52 Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 and 4-32 Vortex AMG 6-24 And lagging just outside my pretty firm cut-off of 30oz SWFA HD 5-20 Another question, since I see some smaller obj scopes suggested: Say I'm glassing during that last golden hour of light and see a couple either rock-shaped critters or criiter-shaped rocks maybe 2-2.5k away in a basin across the valley. I crank my scope up to 18-22x to get a better look and decide if I'm heading over there for dawn. Am I going to wish I had the 50mm obj or will a smaller obj be fine? [/QUOTE]
