Hello to you all,

I am in a search for a decent scope for my new Tikka T3X Supervarmint in .308 win.
The purpose of the rifle will be long range shooting and hunting.
Since I own 2 Hawke (Airmax and Sidewinder ffp) scopes and I am VERY satisfied with them, I decided to give it a go also here.
However I can not decide between these two:

Sidewinder-30-ffp-6-24x56-ffp-half-mil

Frontier-30-ffp-5-25x56-mil-pro

Although I will put it on a 20 moa mount, I am a bit afraid that Frontier would stay without enough clicks for longer ranges?
And - what difference would these two made in the dusk?

What are your opinions/experiences?

Thank you and best regards!

In theory with 19mrad elevation and a 20 moa mount you should have about 15.5 (+/-) (16 with the sidewinder) mrad to adjust. Should be plenty depending on your ranges of course.
 
What about dusk conditions? And precision when speaking of the turrets? Anyone any experiences?
