I just got a 30 nosler back from LRI and I’m looking for a scope to put on it.
Plan on a fair amount of target shooting to a half mile or maybe a little farther. The main job for the rifle will be mid-long range hunting (650 yard max on game if the rifle is a shooter).
I’ve decided to buy a zeiss v6 3-18x50, but kind of second guessing myself. Any reason that somebody would talk me into a nightforce NXS, 15 power or 22 power, over the zeiss for my intended purposes.
I don’t care much about the weight, I care more about reliability.

Leica Amplus 6 in whichever magnification range and objective size you prefer.
I'd say Leica Magnus, but they quit selling those in the US

Amplus 6 has nice illumination and glass is as good as the v6. Looks better than my V4 when looking into woods or at dark woodlines.

I’ve got both the V6 and NXS and purely for hunting to my eyes the V6 is better optically. I’ve never had an issue with dialing either one of them but I don’t typically shoot out to 1/2 mile….

Hunting inside 650yds and low light performance I’d stick with the V6
