I'm shopping for a scope for a custom build .233 bolt gun . Rifle will be used for PRS style shooting out to 700+ yards. Weight is a major consideration as the rifle will be used for the mammoth sniper challenge.
What I'm considering
- vortex AMG, I have one on another rifle and like it. Would rather save some weight and money but am leaning this direction.
-leupold VX-3i LRP 4.5-14x50mm, 8oz lighter and about 1/2 price
- nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50
Will probably end up costing me about the same as the AMG
-vortex gen 2 pst which I have experience with and like. but leaning away from it because of non locking or capped windage
Won't comprimise on
-mil/mil
-FFP
-at least 14x magnification
-no weight over about 28 ounces
- any price higher than AMG/NX8
What would be nice but not required
- locking/capped windage, thats high on the list
- lighter weight
-more compact than AMG
- less expensie than AMG/NX8
- illumination is not required
Ive looked and looked and am down to time I need to get something on the way, I've got something on the rifle now but need to get the permanent optic on there and be training with it.
Am I missing something? Is there something else I should be considering?
Thank you
