[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1529208, member: 54178"] After looking at the very nice Nightforce ATACR 4 - 16 x 42 F1 I still think the MARCH 3 - 24 x 42 is the best option. The MARCH is lighter[U] by about 10 oz.[/U] and about the same length and has a higher magnification range. The lighter MARCH weight likely mostly comes from its having a 30 mm tube as opposed to the NF 34 mm tube. Likely both are the same general quality level with plusses and minuses on each side. Both have the option of illuminated reticles and both have good mil reticles (& matching mil turrets). Both are priced very similarly. It's easier to find a NF with a lower street price so likely the NF can be had for hundreds less than the MARCH. I've looked at the Leupold VX5 scopes in this size and found they have only a duplex reticle and the "illuminated" reticle is only a red center dot. [B]Leupold needs to make a REAL mil/mil VX5 for mountain rifles. [/B] Eric B. [/QUOTE]
