[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1664492, member: 54178"] Tx, I'll bet you already have a scope you could use but, like me, you're using a new rifle as an excuse to buy a new scope. It makes perfect sense - new rifles require new scopes. Sorta like your wife gets new shoes and then needs a matching purse. Anyway, for my upcoming 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro I just got a [I]Bushnell LRTS 4.5 -[/I] [I]18 x 44 illuminated reticle[/I] scope (mil/mil). I needed FFP B/C my LRF binoculars read out the hold (in mils) and with an SPF scope I'd need to crank it to the highest power to accurately use the hold my binoculars indicate. This scope weighs 28 oz. and has a G3 "Christmas tree" type reticle but it's small "tree" for hunting, unlike the H59 tree in my competition scope. The illumination is excellent and the glass, while not ED, is [I]very [/I]good - what some scope makers would tout as "HD" glass. *I like the relatively light 28 oz. scope to match the 6 lbs. 3 oz. of that carbon fiber staled X-Bolt Pro. Th-th-that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. I got this scope at Optics Planet for less than $1,000. by talking (actually whining) to a sales person. With Nevada's sales tax it was just a bit over $1,000. B/C Nevada has a law that they must collect sales tax from ALL online sales. :( Eric B. [/QUOTE]
