Looking to upgrade my scope

[osok-1k]

I second the Tract, the Toric 3-15x50 retails for $749 and great for a lighter weight hunting rig. I'm about to order my third Tract with the PRS reticle

I run the NXS 5.5-22X56 HS ZS MOAR on my hunting rig and I absolutely love it. Warna Mtn Tactical Rings. I have way nicer scopes sure but I know one thing about the ol' NXS, when I crank that elevation turret there is no doubt in my mind on the tracking.

I have the Z5 3.5-18 BT on my 300 WM. Glass is great. I have the first setting at 200, with the others at 300,400, and 500. They work pretty well and it is repeatable. The negative I found is that with these settings, the adjustment will only reach 600 yards before bottoming out.
I have ordered a 20moa base to remount the scope and gain added adjustment. It should give me all I need for this rifle. I don't intend to shoot extreme distances with it.

Swarovski X5 is the lovechild of the two scopes you're considering, have you looked closely at that one?

Between those two options, I'd go with the Swaro. The NXS line of scopes are over rated and over priced.

I went from NF NXS to Zeiss V6 and am well pleased.

If you decide to go the Zeiss V6 route, I have one for sale in classifieds with lots of pics.

I was set on buying an NSX or ATACR until I was in the shop handling them next to the Swaro X5i.

I bought the X5i and have no regrets.

I took it out to the range and dialed it in 1.1 inches high at 100yds, that should have put me at zero at 200yds. Then I punched in the ballistics into the Swarovski ballistic calculator cranked the turret as calculated and went to 1000yds. I had what I estimated at 10mph crosswind, held about 3' left and took three shots. Two were within 1-1/4" of bullseye and the third was 6" left but dead on in Elevation. Cranked it back down to zero and was dead on. I was extremely impressed.
