I have been really putting off making a decision on a scope for my recent build. It's a 243 win with bartlein barrel and McMillan stock that shoots 105 vlds quite well. I am not sure what would be considered overkill. But what I am wanting is a ffp MOA/MOA with illumination. I have been looking at vortex pst and the razor along with nf nsx with moar. There are others out there like us optics and premier but i would have to get lucky and find one used. It is also quite difficult to get these in my hands I would be open to offers....this is a new scope gents!to inspect. This gun will be used for hunting primarily. Pigs in late evening, coyotes, deer out to 500, and targets possibly out to 800 are my intentions. I would like to keep my budget set at 2k. I want good glass big sweet spot and rugged feel. What would your pick be and why. Thanks
 
For that budget and use, you should look into the used Nightforce F1 for sale in Optics. It's mil, not moa, but aces the other specs you mention.
 
The only other scope I am looking at but failed to mention is the weaver 3-15 with emdr. I just think I may be hard pressed hitting targets out to 800 with only 15x. I would be willing to give up MOA for mils for a scope that really fits my needs.
