[QUOTE="timberbuck, post: 977960, member: 70343"] Finishing up a new 7 rem mag build and need a scope. I can not find one with the features I want. I am want to have 800 yard max capability. 18 to 20x top end minimum. Zero stop and or locking turrets if they are exposed. reticle with Moa marks for wind holds not heavier than 25oz (hunting gun) What I have on other guns: Zeiss 4.5x14x44 with Z800 Swarovski Z3 4x12x50 with BRH reticle Sightron S3 LRMOA 6x24x50 second focal with MOA 2 I have had good success with the ballistic reticles but want this time to try a turret twister with a reticle with MOA hash marks for wind. Scopes I have considered; Sightron, the SFP MOA2 reticle is way too small for a hunting gun in low light. I do not like the fact that the turrets do not lock on a hunting gun. I have considered the FFP MOA2 but cant find one to look at. Have also considered the illuminated SFP MOA2. Anyone used the FFP or illuminated SFP on a hunting gun? Leupold VX6 3x18x44 with CDS, purchase 2 more CDS caps for different elevations but no reticle choice for wind holds. Zeiss Conquest HD5 5x25x50-either Z800 or Zplex with locking turrets. Can't get the Z800 with the locking target turrets. (z800 has wind holds) Swarovski Z5 3x18, 4w reticle with ballistic turret. How does this turret work? Swarovski Z5 3x18 BRH and add outdoorsmans custom turrets? Best of both worlds? Nightforce SHV 5x20 MOAR-fear it is too big and heavy for a hunting gun? Not interested in Vortex Viper PST models-seen and read of too many problems. Any others I should consider? Bushnell Elite tactical? Anyone used the scopes with the GMDR reticle (not sure if I got the reticle name right) on a hunting scope? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
