[QUOTE="longrangehunterII, post: 781252, member: 61185"] I think some features are required for shooting long distance, tractability, the amount of elevation range within the scope, that the reticle and turrets match (either MOA or Mils) and it should be rugged (I slipped on a steep hillside and as my gun came off my shoulder I grabbed the sling only to have it swing the entire gun and the scope objective bell collided into a rock with such force it but a huge dent in it, but it still shoots to the same POI). But then so is fitting the right weight and size scope for the purpose it going to serve? I've owned the major players, and have for years. Do I like the european glass, yes, typically the glass is clearer, but I also like the glass in my NF. I also have a MK4 M3 on my 6.5/300 WSM, the scope is eleven years old but it works totally fine for its purpose. Is it as good as my Kahles K312II 34 mm tactical scope, no, not even close for field of view, but it cost twice as much! But I like having the reticle and the turrets the same, and that it is in the FFP, which the Leupold is not in either one in this case. Having the reticle and the turrets the same allows me to make a adjustment by the POI with the mil-dots in the scope, and then making the adjustment without having to convert from Mils to MOA. And having a FFP scope means no matter where the zoom ring is I can still range the target accurately. Which is sometimes necessary when those high tech lasers wont give a range reading, or is way to far for them. I little research and look through the various scopes will help with your decision.
