No particular price range. I'm just building a shorty 308 for supressed/subsonic hunting. I have a s&b 5-25 but it kind of seem like over kill when most of my shots will be under 300yds. I was just wondering what else is out there
Not an expert by any means but I just picked up a NF 2.5-10x42 and it is the best I have seen in low light and would be the perfect size for your rifle.
Swarovski makes a Z3 with the BRH reticle. The reticle is a mil based Xmas tree but they don't have exposed MRAD turrets. It would make a nice hunting scope if you're not gonna be dialing elevation.
This is true. Divide the aperture by the magnification, that's the exit pupil. Aim for 7 mm. For instance, I can use my 32 mm scope up to about 4.5x. A bigger aperture will get you more light IF you magnify up to the appropriate exit pupil. But assuming glass transmission is equal, my 32 mm scope is equal to a 56 mm aperture at 4.5x for both. But then I can magnify the 56 mm to 8x and obtain the better, greater amount of light. On the other hand, the bigger exit pupil will give you a wider eye box too...
Long story short, aim for better coatings for greater light transmission more than huge aperture.
Edit: Another thing before I shut the hell up. Binoculars will be much better for target identification with the two tubes, higher mag/aperture combos (10x50 for example...I use 11x80 though ), and scanning capability.
