Rifle Scopes Need advice on scope please

[Flynn]

Hello everyone,

I have a LT 5.56 on the way and leaning towards putting a Nightforce 3.5x15 50mm with the NP-R2 reticle. The weapon will be used primarily for paper and coyotes/badgers.

The country is pretty wide open with opportunities for very long shots, but I doubt I will shoot more than 600 yards.

My logic is: better to have more and not need it and also the fact that I intend to add a LT .308 to my collection in the near future, i.e. If the scope proves to be far more than I need, I can put it on the .308.

Also, weight isn't a huge factor for me, I'm 6'2 200 lbs and carrying a 10-11 lb weapon isn't an issue for me. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Flynn,

Thew NF 3.5-15x50mm is a fine scope and an excellent choice. May I also recommend you look @ the 3-12x44MM [censored], and the 3-18x42mm [censored] as you really don't need 22x for coyotes out to only 600 yds.


And we don't shoot badgers here, rather we shoot with badgers.

Pun intended.

Flynn,

Don't know. I did all mine as a joke, I though you did yours.....

If not, my bad.
