[QUOTE="KYpatriot, post: 1025915, member: 48028"] I am going to go out on a limb here, and say that if they maintain their previous standard of excellence, that the new Nightforce ATACR, coming this next spring, in first focal plane 5-25x56 might possibly be the best hunting scope ever made if you don't require a super light scope. The Leupold m5a2 6-20 works great, slightly less mag and no illum though. Illum isn't a huge deal to me. If you are hunting first focal plane makes a lot of sense, you never have to worry what power you are at your wind holds will always be accurate. Nightforce had fell behind in that regard but have fixed that with this new ATACR model. I predict it will outsell the Beast handily. If you mostly shoot targets, don't need quick shots and don't have to deal with mirage much then a second focal will work fine and save you some money, you just have to remember the reticle is only correct at full power and you have to do the math for holds otherwise. Buy the absolute best scope you can afford and you'll never regret it, but make sure you test it with a tall target test even if it cost more than your car. You never know, til you know lol. [/QUOTE]
