tackb Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 You'll have to make a compromise for a stalking/target scope I would use either a NF 3.5-15x50 or 56 nxs or a Schmidt PM2 either 3-12 or a 4-16 , unlike you I'm not a fan of too high magnification, especially for stalking . I've no experience of the march scopes but they do look good and they do some big mag models ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nightforce 5.5-22 x 56 will be my choice 5.5 power for last light stalking and 22 power more than adequate for 1000yds 8-32 x 56 the same rule really but probably not quite so suitable for a stalking scope JMO Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloverleaf Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi, Well i prefer the zeiss i have two 6-24x56 with dial tuttetsand get on well with the, find they are better in that last crucial 10mins of light when its deer o clock! Never owned a nightforce but depends weather paper shooting is more what the scope will be fore. We all have different eyes and just go with what you belive is right for you. Cloverleaf.

minkstone Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Think about the new Sightron range of scopes, iv'e heard from a couple of fellow shooters who own them, and they say the optics are "as good as, or even better than" Nightforce, £500 cheaper, with a lifetime guarantee and excellent reviews.

gaz6br Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have the NSX 8-32x56 and 5.5-22-56 NP2DD Nightforce and for the money you pay for them they take some beating i reckon, i know lots of chaps the use them and are very happy Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhunter Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Nxs all the way The kahles tactical 6-24x56 looks well priced and they have top notch glass, not sure on the reticule's available though. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
