[QUOTE="Caleb777, post: 2437069, member: 122158"] Hello all, I’ve been hunting for the past few years with a Christen Arms Mesa in 300WM. On top it’s wearing a seekins precision 20 MOA base and matched seekins precision 30mm rings with built in recoil lugs. The optic is a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 FFP EBRC-7 MOA. After my elk hunt in CO, I realized I want to cut some weight off this rifle. I absolutely love the scope and magnification level. But realistically I don’t need the tactical turrets and reticle travel I have right now to shoot to 1k yards+. Real world for me, I might shoot 500 yards on rare occasion at game. I’m honestly not sure what I should be looking at right now. I’m going to sell my current scope to fund the new scope. Keeping that in mind, here are a few things I appreciated about this scope that is like to keep: -30mm tube -Illuminated reticle -50mm objective -5-25 zoom is cool but I think to cut weight I’ll need to go 4-16 range. Should I be entertaining the Viper HST line of scopes? I’ve looked at plenty of scopes. Trying to budget within roughly what I’d sell this current scope for and have a little left over since I’m downgrading optics. Any comments/concerns/suggestions welcomed! [/QUOTE]
