Glass on these is unmatched for the money in my opinion and according to many others.
There is a small scratch (pictured) in one of the objective lenses. With studying the picture against many different backgrounds I cannot discern any difference in image quality because of it...
Just do what browning did. Make 1 model line of "Suppressor ready" rifles with corresponding barrel lengths and I'd be happy.

I used straight for years. Everyone I talked to seemed to prefer angled so I also ran both for an extended period of time. I won't touch an angled scope. I also like to shoot off of tripods so I don't use a tripod with a center column. There's no way I'd hassle with an angled and readjusting the...
1 bear, 1 whitetail, 3 mule deer, and 1 elk. All with a 25 cal 133 berger elite hunter shots ranging from 120 to 595 (elk). Every deer dropped at the first shot. Bear made it 20 yards, elk wobbled 10 yards. All innards were destroyed including the elk at 595. I would use with confidence.
Never been sheep hunting but the first question I'd ask is how often prone shots can be taken. If the opportunity frequently presents itself I'd take the lighter of the 2 tripods.

Any "long action magnum" will get the job done with the least hassle. Of the factory options, 7mm, 300 win, 300 wsm, 270wsm will all work. Wsm cartridges will need the bolt stop swapped or grinded back. Easy job.
