    1. Magnification Range 13-26 or 12-24.
    2. 16 inches long so you never have to touch paralax.
    3. 10 mil turrets.
    4. Says Nightforce on the side so you can actually trust it.

    I never dial below 13x or above 24x in a PRS match and I shoot a lot of them. Drives me nuts that so many scopes that are obviously targeted at long distance shooting go down to 4-7x on the low end. Not to mention they are all FFP and that makes it impossible to pick reticle thickness that is usable over the whole range.

    Stupid 15 mil turrets on high end scopes with tiny little lines that make it hard to tell which click you are on. Tangent Theta has a gigantic turret and most of the space on the dial is just empty space because they use tiny numbers.

    Nightforce hasn't released any new top end optic in awhile. I'm sure they won't release this, but it'd be sweet if they did.
     
    10-30x56 would work. 10mil turrets i like, but not convinced on 16" long so its parallax is easier.

    Locking turret ?

    Edit.. what sort of reticle ?
     
    Leupold Mark 4hd?
    Kahles K525i DLR?

    Wider mag range but meets most your other specs.
     
    I could get into a 10-30x56 with large Gen 3 Razor style zeroing turrets that are coated for use with markers and has a option for a tree reticle similar to either the PR-2 or EBR-7D. Ideally the dots of the EBR-7D rather than the lines of the PR-2.

    Just to play a little devils advocate here but then why not the ZCO 840 with the 1x, 2x, 3x reticle? 8x and 10x are damn near the same thing. The little bit extra top end won’t make it worse. Super forgiving parallax. Has the 10 mil turret option. You can put a turret tape on it for markers.

    There’s also the S&B 10-60 but the reticle sucks.
     
    I'm in the "has been" age bracket and can't see nearly as good and the higher magnification really helps, especially on KYL racks with small targets.

    I've never been a fan of Vortex but the Razor G3 is an outstanding optic, its essentially retired all my Nightforce 25x optics! Better glass, tracks perfectly, more magnification and the DOF is insane, I rarely ever touch the parallax.

    Optics typically work best in the middle range of zoom and I'll run in the 18-25x most stages and it's right in the sweet spot with plenty of magnification. If you really need to crank up the magnification it's always there if you need it.
