[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1291167, member: 33822"] Interesting thread, and I have to agree! Especially on the American made aspect. I have the AMG on my lightweight 338 ultra mag and it really does perform. I used to run the 5-25 ATACR, and while an excellent scope, it's just too heavy. The AMG L-Tec turrets are also exceptionally well made and extremely functional in the field. I carry my rifle in a Kifaru gunbearer and don't have to worry about turrets getting rotated no matter what I hike through. I really put the AMG to the test this past hunting season and it accounted for 1 shot kills on four elk and a bear, ranging from 350 out to 800 yards. If I had any complaint in this scope, it would be the magnification range. For punching paper and shooting steel at long range the 24x is great. But for how I hunt I will likely never shoot anything on 24x, and I would like a touch less magnification on the low end. I know Vortex is going to expand the AMG line so I'm hoping to see a 5-20x50 and maybe even something like a 4-16x44 in an even lighter package. [/QUOTE]
