[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1652493, member: 54178"] Kimberman, Nice rifles! What are the scopes? [U]UPDATE[/U]: Just ordered a SIG Tango 6 in 3 - 18 X 44 W/mil/mil turrets & reticle (regular reticle, not Xmas tree). [B]OK, it's a bit of an anchor at 37 oz. [/B]but it has Level-Plex reticle digital leveling which I really wanted and lighted reticle. Unfortunately it will not wipe my nose. That's for a future SIG scope. Anyhow, I'll just have to take 9 oz. off my spare tire to compensate for the extra weight. :rolleyes: I guess that 43 mm tube and bigger glass adds weight. It's a shorter scope at 12.3" which also requires more lenses to bend the light more in a short tube. Again, more weight. The SIG Tango 6 with the new Browning X-bolt Pro in 6.5 PRC should be a very good combo for longer range western hunting. I wanted the MARCH 3-24 x 42 but the price was just too high to justify it. The Vortex Razor 6 - 24 x 50 didn't have the reticles I liked and it was also too pricey. The Bushnell LRTSi 4.5 - 18 x 44 was the closest to the SIG within my budget and a good buy. If for some reason I don't like the SIG I'll get the LRTSi. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
