[QUOTE="breakshntr, post: 1258634, member: 93027"] Currently getting a 28 Nosler built from the ground up specifically for the 195 bergers and am needing a good (repeatable) longrange scope. This will be strictly for hunting and packing in semi-open to open country, were a long reach is not out of the question. So weight is a bit of a factor, I want packable. Looking at the vx-6 4-24x52 with TMOA retical, the G7 5.5-22x50 or the Huskemaw 5-20x50. I currently have a 3-18x50 TMOA on a 264 that I am really liking, so far seems repeatable but haven't do a TON of testing with it, ran it to 900 to 1100 several times and all is good so far. I really like the fact that the vx-6 has turret caps and is of good reasonable weight, glass is plenty good. Yes the magnification ring is a bit stiff but not near as bad as some have claimed, not a problem there. The clicks aren't all that pronounced but if the scope tracks well not a problem. May or may not get a custom dial. (primarily hunt at one altitude and in very similar temps). I know there have been a few complaints about Leupolds QC in the past few years, so makes me leary. One must remember that they produce just a handful more scopes than most other companies. I know there are basically no problems to speak of with the G7. Just a bit hung up on the weight and added bulk. Have never owned a NF but know that the function will be A-ok. Comes with zero stop and windage cap (big plus). I like the retical and if I decide to get a custom turret Minutes also come on the dial for anything over 20 moa. Biggest drawback is the weight and I guess the extra $$. I know very little about the Huskemaw. Lots of folks on here swear by them but other than that.... The glass, fit and finish... The lack of either minute hashes or a bdc in the duplex I really don't care for. Some times a quick 350 to 400 yard shot presents itself and one doesn't need a dial for those ranges. Just looking for a bit of advise I guess, probably end up more confused than I already am! If I absolutely knew the vx-6 was going to track well forever I would go that way in a flash. Just don't want to under scope myself so to speak. More or less looking for people with experience with these scope, particularly side by side. Just wanting a good longrang HUNTING scope, not a tactical scope. Opinions welcome! Talk me into something! Thanks guys. Zack [/QUOTE]
