I got fed up looking and not able to get hands on any of these so I bought a S&B Klassik 3-12 with capped turrets and the P3L reticle. I figure this way there is no worrying about a turret spinning, no worrying about tracking reliability, just whether it holds zero or not--hopefully it lives up...

I really know nothing about Trijicon quality and have never seen one in person--are they comparable to the nightforce, s&B, March, etc scopes others have suggested? Regardless, I do not like the reticles in the NX8 or the NXS 2.5-10 compact, or the trijicon scope, they are quite busy to my eye...

That 2-16z8i with the flex turret looks perfect as well, although the swaro website does not seem to indicate whether that is sfp or ffp? Regardless, unfortunately thats a $4000 scope when you include the turret, which is roughly double the maximum Im able to spend. Any experience with...

That March scope looks about right-I dont really need an 8x zoom and I definitely didnt plan on a $2600 price tag, but that's awfully close to what I'm looking for. Xtreme Hntr, that's also pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, minus the ffp, at least until I could get a peek through one...

Bump. Still looking. Checking out some of the top shelf euro brands (s&b etc) but most seem to be ffp. That s&b exos mentioned above looks great but $3700 is beyond what Im willing to spend. The SWFA Scope linked above i missed, it could be an option but Im still not crazy about buying a...

David Walter, I’ll look around and see if I can check one out, thank you. W54, thats not the scope Im looking for. Anyone with input on the Swarovski tracking Id love to hear.

Thank you, but yes I have to have power adjustments as I previously stated. Do these come in a SFP in the 3-15? May have missed it on their website when I looked just now, but as far as I can see these are not available in sfp except a few fixed power models that are well outside my must-have...

Bump...anyone used one and have feedback?

So, whats the word on the swarovski BT turrets? The z5 scopes look about perfect...Do they track?

“just glance that way-ish, like at that super-hot chick in the bus.” the bus? :) (but I know what you mean!! Thanks)

You take the bus? :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I will check these out and if any others come along those as well. I appreciate the responses. re: dialing and magnification--In the big woods around me, and even elk hunting near treeline, most of the shots I have taken were well under 100 yards, which is the...

Hickswr—sorry if that was garbled, its the leupolds with a rep for not tracking, I actually havent heard anything at all about the vortex in question. Vortex isnt perfect but the vortex scope I own tracks fine. My comment on the vortex was only that I dont like the reticle options on the light...

Hi all--wondering about getting some input on scopes I should be looking at for a hunting rifle. I am a casual precision rifle shooter, by no means an expert, but I have gotten a bit spoiled by my nicer scopes on my heavier rifles and want to put a good scope on a hunting rifle. I have found...

Area 419 15moa rail on my 455 American varmint stock with low vortex rings fits my pstII 5-25 easily. Ive also had a 44mm scope on it. In both cases the stock was the limiting factor, not the rings. Ive needed a badger cheek rest on mine to maintain the needed stock height. (If anyone has a...
