[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 2078867, member: 111184"] any product can fail and hence the saying, “Some folks swear by them while others swear at them.” I was fortunate to work in optics for a bit and got to demo many scopes for a season before buying one. Yet, on rare occasion, I ended up disappointed by a scope. I bought three Vortex Vipers and swore at all of them. I now have two Gen 2 Razors, and I swear (mildly) by them. I‘ve never had a problem with my Leupold scopes. I’ve run a VX-5HD 3-15, a Mark 5HD 5-25and a FX-6 fixed scope for 7+ years with flawless reliability. On my 300PRC I’m running a Zeiss Conquest 30mm tube V6 3-18. It’s a Timex scope as it has taken a licking but keeps on ticking. I almost put he same Zeiss on my 6.5PRC, but opted to go lighter and went with a 1” Z5i 3.5-18 Swaro. Oh my. Check it out :) Nightforce also makes great scopes. Yet I’ve never been more disappointed in any scope more than I was with the NF NX 8. No comparison to NF’s much better ATACRs. Good luck next year. You’ve got time to choose a new scope and try it out :) [/QUOTE]
