[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 661297, member: 48420"] I am currently having a Lazzeroni built in the 7.82 Warbird and am really struggling with choosing a scope. Considering that I recently purchased a CZ550 and a Remington Sendero in 300RUM which I having rebarreled for .338 RUM, my toy account balance is beginning to look a little thin. I would love to put a Nightforce on it, but for all the features I want, I would be looking at the $2000 mark. Does anyone have any suggestions for a scope for this rifle that I could get for around the $1000 mark? I have six Leupold variables on various rifles, and frankly, I am not as high on them as I used to be. All of them tend to get a little dim as the magnification goes up. I have two Meoptas that I really like, but their mildots are so big that at 200 yards, they will completely cover a deer. I want a variable in at least the 4-16 range, a little bigger would be better, a 30 mm tube, mildots or the equivalent, a 50mm objective with side focus, adjustment rinigs that snap solidly into place so I know how many clicks I have moved, and whatever else makes a good scope.
