    fedex requires scanning your driver's license for powder etc?

    driver said it was a new policy and wouldn't hand over the powder from brownell's without a scan of my DL. he wasn't sure if this was just fedex policy, government or brownell's and if it's hazmat or everything, but first time that's happened to me.

    NF NX8 2.5-20 v Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22 for east and west hunting

    Priced within a few $100 of each other. NF weighs ~6oz more. NF goes down to 2.5x so a little better for eastern deer/woods hunting. Both first focal. Any other meaningful differences between these two for close and longer-range (400-600yds) hunting? Any other obvious choices (ffp, 50mm...
