Re: 1000 yard scope power

Would you see more clarity with a nightforce than a lp? I have shot both, but dont remember. Would it be $ 500 worth off difference?

I can make out more detail in my NF over my LP optics when comparing them at the same powers and the image is a little brighter with the same Objective sizes. Is it worth 500 more? Only you can answer that.

Leupolds are nice and when they can be found on the used market around 700-850 (MK4 and older Vari-III tacticals) they are worth it... I wouldnt pay anywhere near what they are going for new though, for that money I would buy NF every time.

You will need a good clarity optic. Stick with Schmidt and Bender, USO, and Night Force. Those 3 brands are perfect. I would stick with 22x magnification for going out that distance.

My 12x power Schmidt and Bender was good up to about 800 meters.

That's because he took a month off for back door sales.

I run NF 5.5x22 NPR1.Have shot out to 2000M with no problems seeing Steel IPSC targets at that range.NF 15x will be just fine at 1000 personally I would go with the 5.5x22 though

Hi, I am thinking about scope choices for a 300 win mag rifle coming to me. I don't have access to 1000 yard range within 2 hour driving, but want to set up the rifle so the capacity is there in the future

What's a good compromise in scope power that accommodate the full range between 200 to 1000 yards? Using nightforce as example, I am debating between 4.5-15 verus 5-22, taking the cost difference out

Thank you for input on this

You don't need more than 10x for 1000 yards. In fact, in hot weather, anything above this can cause mirage. You don't need parallax adjustment either, up to 10x power.
If you can get away with not needing lower magnification, get a fixed 8X or 10X.

And giving shitty advice as well... Who the hell recommends a fixed 8x or 10x scope without parallax adjustment on a .300 WM?
