[QUOTE="Slykhunter, post: 1344005, member: 102732"] Recently bought a 6.5 creedmoor, it's a Christensen Arms ridgeline with the carbon fiber barrel. I'm trying to decide on the scope now here is a list of what i have it narrowed down to. 1. NF SHV 4x14x50 F1 30 oz 2. Leupold VX-5HD 3x15x56 22 oz 3. Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 5-25x50 31.2 oz 4. Sig Sauer Tango 4 6-24x50 26.9 oz 5. ? Any Other? This setup will mostly be used for deer hunting and coyote calling in North Dakota. So the important features for the scope are performance in low light (because i do some full moon calling), weight (the gun is only 6.3 pounds), glass clarity and the ability to accurately shoot at a 1000 yard range (because ND is very flat). So hunting comes first then range ability. Ive been reading old forms and discussions on this site for a few weeks and that is what led me to these scopes. 20 MOA Warne base and Vortex PMR rings? Is 14 power enough or should I be going to 24 power? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
