If you plan on using it mostly on the range and maybe some hunting, a Mil dot graduated style reticle would be good. I have personal experience with NF, Leupold, and Vortex in your price range and they will all fit the bill well. Maven is a pop scope here but I have no hands on with them so...
All good choices - although I prefer the 6.5 CM from a caliber choice.
In your list, suggest the Waypoint
May consider staying shy of Weatherby if you want to get into reloading. Weatherby components and ammo can be more expensive
An alternate suggestion would be the Seekins but that will be...
There are a ton of options from 15 companies. That you are using it for the range opens a lot more options for weight and reticles...Do you have a price range you want to be in? That might help us help you
Strong words from the owner. Back and forth is a big reason the site is successful. Your own "staff" take part in it and get offended when their opinions are refuted...
You volunteered my kit. I am under zero obligation to satisfy your need or answer to your premise that I should use it; or...
Ryan volunteered me and my scope - I never offered it.
The funding statement comes from Ryan involuntarily proposing I use my personal scope, which cost me 3500 bucks, to purposefully drop it in a way that could potentially make me have to pay to have it fixed or replaced at my own expense? It...
Let me go back to one of the first couple of opinions stated. True that for 117 years, Leupold scopes amongst others have proven to perform.
To say all Leupolds don't track is a flawed premise based on a single test. Or even 2 or 3 tests...Leupold sold about 160MM bucks worth of glass in 2023 -...
Kahles is owned by swaro so yeah, the glass is epic. So you are saying that everyone who shoots comps with Kahles should not expect it to return to zero or be bumped?
Not really but we all know what opinions are like.
Guess by that logic Ryan and Form are the only people on this entire site and in every post that are correct and have the proper experience and background to prove or disprove a premise?
I am all in and 100% ok with being wrong, as long as it...
It is 100% true. Be accountable. It was part of another post and it got so contentious at one point, one of the moderators here shut down the thread. I offered to meet and debate and you declined.
Remember when we debated energy? You said it doesn't matter or exist with respect to killing with...
True.
Think if their reputations in the comp and instructional community was on the line, they would use sub standard glass cause they got it for free? They can run anything they want for free and the choose Kahles.
Ok. You offering to fund the drop? Hope so since you made the offer.
If so i am all in. Let’s work together and put out a definitive test. Let’s test as many as we can with repeatable and supportable data through monitored and trackable criteria
It’s not a secret. Done it more than a few times...
