Optic for mg lite

[fowlweatherfowler]

Just picked up my first bolt gun. Ended up getting a bergara mg light in 6.5 CM. Been looking at optics and wanting to stay light weight for hunting. Seems most that tend to be on the lighter side sacrifice eye relief at higher magnification. So far looking at Maven rs3, NX8 4-32, razor lht. Not being able to get my hands on these makes the decisions harder not knowing if it is really that terrible or people comparing it to other options that come in a lot heavier

You'd be well served by taking a look at the Rifle Scope Evaluations in the Long Range Hunting sub of this forum. Probably the best reviews you will see of any optics. Located here: Scope Evaluations Great place to start.

On your list I would get the NX8.

Thank you I read one of his reviews in my early searches. I didn't realize he has so many out there. Shame the LHT didn't fare so well.

I was hoping to Find a light used one but haven't had a ton of luck in a MIL/FFP spec

I've mainly bought used ones. I found one for $1400. Deals are out there if a guy can be patient.

At that price point I would 100% go that route. Prefer the Mil in either the XT or C in FFP. Ive been keeping a eye out a handful of places hoping one pops up
