I've decided to swap out the Z5 on my Sako 7 mm Rem for a Nightforce NXS. My only hiccup is trying to figure out which mag range to get....3.5-15x50 or 5.5-22x50.
This a Sako Finnlight so it's not a dedicated LR set up. However, I think the gun is more than capable of putting one in the chest of animal at 900.
The 3.5-15 would seem more logical for a field rifle with no serious intentions to spend a lot of time at 1k plus type ranges. However, I've always liked lots of magnification.
Is there a caveat I'm not thinking about here? Very marginal size/weight differences. Almost all my scopes are in the 3-18 power range.
I do plan on getting a more dedicated LR set up... Either a bergara hmr or Tikka ctr in 6.5...maybe the 5.5-22 can be reserved for that? Hell I can put a 5.5-22 on them both I guess...
