Re: Best all around scope for 350-1000 yards
Never had one and they aren't the <span style="text-decoration: underline">most</span> expensive but judging by tough components and the abuse their own builders put them through in torture tests...Nightforce scopes seem like very high quality pieces. Saw a clip on Long range pursuit the other day about how strict their testing is, how they build them, what they make key parts out of and how much abuse they take.
The guy was checking the zero then he would take the scope out of the vise and beat it on the table like it was a hammer and he was driving nails, put it back into the vise, re check zero. It was nuts. Love to try one haha

Would there be a different scope if one was shooting a bolt gun vs. AR type platform?</div></div>
Wouldn't own a Premier and I don't believe they're of the same category. S&B v. Hensoldt is another matter.
Second, the rifle does not matter as to what scope to use.

If money is not a concern, and you want the best money can buy: Hensoldt 4-16x56mm w/ NH-1 reticle with 40-45 MOA built into the mounting system.

Yep. If you had been here in the beginning when they were first released you would know they had more than their fair share of problems.

Re: Best all around scope for 350-1000 yards
You would think someone in the "know" wouldn't need to ask this question. I'm sure whatever scope you were using to shoot decks of cards at 1000 yards will do the trick. Or are you picking up some new gear to take on LL's challenge?

OHHH he is THAT guy!
Personally money is always an object as I am not Pimp Daddy Gansta rich.
I like the trijicon line if I was to pay retail.
Once, at band camp, I had to take a 1000 yard headshot- those of you in the know, know of what I speak so your deck of cards holds no fear. I have trained my hands to follow my mind's eye and can visualize the bullet all the way downtown.

What happened to all the nice things you had to say about USO-with them getting you a reticle swap in a week turnaround and all you'd think they'd have made a customer out of you.....

Premier seem like great scopes to me. But then, I'm not "in the know" and my most expensive scope is an IOR.

+1 I would go for a Nightforce 5.5-22X50or56 with zero stop and high speed turrets. The other high price brands might be marginally better but not enough IMO to justify the big difference in price.

My NF 5.5-22x56 makes a 1000 yards seem like a joke. Cant imagine spending more and would'nt settle for less.
