I am looking for a scope for M25 build. I am currently running a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 but was looking to get a little more magnification. However, I'd like to keep thing compact with something with less than a 50mm objective. I'd like top end magnification around 15X. My price range would be around $1500. The only scope I can think of is the March 3-24, however that's a pretty penny, and I don't like the size of the reticle. I have a SS 5-20 and I think the .05 mil reticle is a little on the thick side so the .1 mil thickness on the march may be difficult to live with.

I would definitely look for something mil/mil although FFP is not required.

A few I've considered are:

S&b 4-16X42, $$$ and even though it's 42mm it's not small
Weaver 3-15X50 emdr, bought one but it made the rifle top heavy and looked funny due to size of objective.
IOR 3-18x42, too heavy and would prefer 30mm

Can anyone think of any options besides the March? I'm not that familiar with the USO line. Do they offer something that may work?
 
Re: Looking for mid size scope with decent mag

I looked at that but the 34mm tube makes mounting difficult. I'm trying to get as low as possible since the scope rail is already so high it makes placement of the butt very low on my shoulder.

If only IOR made their new 4-16 a 42mm instead of 50mm. That would be perfect.
