[QUOTE="7Rum Slayer, post: 2249814, member: 113894"] I have mounted both of those scopes on a few rifles in the last year and have to agree with most people here, they may be a bit much. The NX8 2.5-20 SFP would maybe be perfect for a .308 500 yrd max hunting, even much farther for practice. (I think as well you want a Nightforce). Being able to spot hits in hunting is very important for both spotter and hunting solo, the 4-32 NX8 is to much maybe on the top end. My only problems with the NX8 2.5-20 has been mounting on long actions, just not much room on the main tube, and still not light! Pic rails and short actions prefered! You are good there maybe. The scope I have mounted the most of late has been the VX6 HD 3-18x50. That may be the hidden gem in the bunch. Great glass and clarity, generous all the way around for weight and ergonomics. I do not own one as of yet but have been very impressed. That said I bought the March 2.5-25x52 about 8 months ago sight unseen. This sits on my main LR hunting rifle and I have been super stoked on that scope!! Better than both or all the scopes mentioned in my opinion. I would say reticle preference is super important. I like the Nightforce reticle the best, it comes down to what you like the best. Just food for thought, Best of luck Jason [/QUOTE]
