I want to put a better scope on a LRB M-25.
Either a Leupold 2.5-8x36 Mark 4 MR/T 30mm, illum TMR (stock #LEU 67915)
or Leupold 3.5-10x40 Mark 4 LR/T 30mm Riflescope
Stock # - LEU110074
FFP, TMR, M-5 knobs
Or Nightforce Optics NXS Compact 2.5-10x32mm with the NP-R2 reticle.
I'm leaning towards the night force or the 2.5 X8 Leupold because of the greater range of adjusment. The LRB M-25 doesn't lend itself to a canted base and I'll run out of adjusment before 800 yds with the 3.5 X10. I've had a lot of good luck with Leupolds in the past, but have heard good things about the nightforce.
What do you guys reccomend?
Thanks,
Brent
 
Re: Nightforce or Leupold Mark 4 for M-14?

Nightforce blows the shit out the MK4. For an M1a though, I don't think you need to throw a ton of wood on a scope if you don't have to. But if price wasn't a concern, by all means go with an NXS. You will love it.
