This topic has been beaten to death but I just cant figure out what I want to do. I currently have a custom 300winmag that shoots bugholes. I shoot out to 1000yds pretty frequently. I currently have a Mark 4 ERT M5 4.5-14 power on this winmag, and it has performed flawlessly. BUT, I find myself needing more magnification. When shooting between 300 - 700yds it is pretty difficult for me to see bullet holes in the paper, making adjusting my shots hard.
I just received my new custom 6.5x47lapua, and I plan on taking the Mark 4 off my winmag and using it on this gun instead. I feel the magnification range is better suited to the 6.5x47.
This leaves me in need of a new scope for my winmag. I am back and forth between getting another Mark 4 ERT M5 but with the 6.5-20 or 8.5 - 24 power vs the Nightforce F1. The ONLY reason im considering the NF is because of the illuminated reticle. I think it may help in some of the low light hunting situations I get myself into.
Any advice? I had considered a Vortex Razor, but Im not sure I would trust its tracking as much as I would trust the Mark 4 or F1
