I have a Tac-Ops Tango 51 .308 on order, this is going to be the one and only be all and end all nice thing I have and I need a scope. I would like to have it capable of going to 1000 or more. Primary use is range but also a hunting rifle. These are the features I think I want/need:
1.FFP
2.3 to 5-12+magnification
3.If possible smaller than 50mm objective lens as I think it will look better-stupid idea?
4.Mil/Mil
5. I think I would want an illuminated reticle as it will spend most of the time at lower magnifications and I have read reticles in FFP can be hard to see.
6. zero stop-try and idiot proof the scope
So far these are the choices I have come up with:
Leupold ER/L 4.5-14 x 50 (no illumination that I can see, no zero stop)
Bushnell Elite tactical 2.5-16 x 42 or 3-12 x 44 ( no zero stop)
NF F1 or NXS 3.5-15x 50-I'm not actually sure of the difference
So far it looks like the NF has all the things I want, but it's rally about $700 more than I would like to spend $1500 is my ceiling at this point. Am I missing and good options and are any of my "wants" not worth it vs. my needs for this price?
Any help would be appreciated as I have read almost every post on the hide and am about to the point of pulling my hair out with this.
