Scope for my new Seekins SP10

[Don-n-Texas]

I just got a Seekins Sp10 6.5 CM. I’ve been looking for a scope to go on it. Now it’s on the way. So I need to decide quickly. Well not that quick. But anyway.
I’m trying to decide now between Leupold 3.6x18 or Nightforce 2.5x20.
I would appreciate opinions. Or other scopes to consider.

Thank you
Don

Of those 2 options... Nightforce all day.

Leupy is outdated tech, and is fragile inside.

I've never seen any bad reviews about the Vortex AMG and Razors. Might be worth looking into? I can't afford one, so never spent a lot of time behind them, but the short times I have, they were nice.

I think Vortex is to heavy in my opinion for a gas gun. I think your right about Leupold.

Thank you for your input.

Thank you for your input.

The AMG is 28 ounces so pretty light but I have run a 3-18 Razor II on my 6.5 and .308 ARs without a problem. Comes down to the use.

Rob I now own 2 vortex 3 x 18 Razors on your advice. Now I guess I’ll own 3 of them.

Thank you Rob

Seeing as you have them pop one on top and see how it feels for you. If you don;t have a mount even if just setting it up there and attaching it with some string or bungee will give you an idea if the weight is ok for you. I know some don't like the weight but it was never a problem for me.

I‘ll try it. I got to payoff the SP10. Before buying a scope.

you cant go wrong with the Nightforce. light weight and tough. I've found the NX8 to be highly useable and very flexible with the mag range.

Not able to comment on either Leupold or Vortex, but have 3 6.5CM AR’s and two wear Bushnell LRTSi’s and one a DMR2 Pro. All three get to 1000 with ease. LRTSi about 8oz less than Pro and for nice balance carrying and hunting, Pro more a range gun. All reasonably priced, good glass and repeatable tracking.
New Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 at 22ish oz. might be a certain option, as well.

I'd say used DMR2 Pro, a new DMR3, or even the LRHS2 from GAP.

Nx8 2.5-20 or 4-32

or ZCO 420

Compared to NF.
I’d go ZCO 420. Only 6oz more.
DMR3 is very nice and 7oz more but saves money if that’s a concern. Both 25 yrd parallax.
