I am looking at optics for my new rifle. I will be shooting at least 600 yrd with this gun. Mainly long range hunting and maybe f class when I get time. Here are the ones I have been looking at
Sightron SII Big Sky Rifle Scope w/Climate Control Coating 6.5-20x50mm, MilDot Reticle
Nikon Monarch Scope 5-20x44SF Matte Black, Nikoplex Scope
Nikon Monarch Scope 6-24x50SF Matte Black, Fine Cross Hai Scope
Bushnell Elite 4200 Rainguard 6-24x40 Matte Side Focus MilDot
I have the Bushnell Elite 6500 and love it. puts both my leupold VXIII and nikon Monarch to shame. the clarity is by far superior to both of them. I was very scared to spend that much $ on a Bushnell but after shooting my buddys I was a firm believer in the 6500,,, :2c:
i too give high marks to the Bushnell elite 6500, its way above the 4500's. I compared it at about dark against my vxIII and like Rbelote says, its no comparrison. mine is on my 7/08 ti and is a 2.5x 14 maybe i know objective is 42mm and tube is 30mm and it both clearer and brighter than my 3x9x50's and is pretty comparable to my 6.5x20x50 which is also a 30mm tube. i would buy another one if the need arises and would pick it over most of the leupolds (mark4's not included in this comment)
I am looking at the 4200 6-24x50 SF Mil-Dot. It should do well on top of my 25-06. Like I said, just waiting on my money now. Had someone put down a deposit on something I was selling. Now just waiting on him to come and get it and pay me the rest. Worst case he will not buy it and I get to keep the deposit and sell it to someone else.
if you ever shoot a 30mm tube scope, you will never buy a 1 inch again. long range needs all the light sucken it can get.
