[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 1104995, member: 39801"] I am a creature of habit - when I find things I like, I rarely deviate. Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing out on. I'm hoping you all can give me some well informed recs on new optics. I currently have 2 "go-to" scopes for bolt action rifles. I have several of each, depending on application. My lighter weight, <700 Yd rifles wear Swarovski Z5's, 3.5-18x44 with the Ballistic Turret and 4W reticle. I like that they are light, durable, low profile, and have great glass. I don't like the zero-stop on the BT (it limits to one rotation of elevation) and the covered windage adjustment. My heavier, larger caliber long-range rifles wear NF NXS, 5.5-22x56 with the MOAR (and MOAR-T) reticles. I like that they are bulletproof, have fantastic tracking & dialing, and are simple to use with a ballistics app. I like the 22x. I don't like that they are big and heavy. (Maybe the right way to say it is that the trade-off is that they are big and heavy). So, I've got a "dual-purpose" .260 rem in the safe that needs optics. I'd like to have the ability to dial to 1000, but with something lighter than the NF. Any hunting I do with it will probably be 600yd max, but I'd like the flexibility to target shoot longer. For hunting, I'll be packing it all over so it still needs to be durable. I want to stay MOA (vs mil), and I prefer SFP but as per my opening line it might be time to expand my horizons. Budget will be $2k or less. Let me know what you like and why. Appreciate your input Brandon [/QUOTE]
