4-16x50 vs 5-25x56 ATACR

[Bigrederic]

So, I have been considering doing some trading with a friend to acquire a ZCO 5-27 with some money on top for 2 of my PMii's. In the process I will need to acquire another scope. I am thinking if I do this trade that I will pick up another ATACR after being impressed with the 7-35 I picked up recently. I am thinking of putting the 4-16 on my 308. I rarely shoot on anything new 20x with my PMii that is on it, and that is only when I am shooting it out at 1300yrds. How much do you think I would be giving up to go with the 4-16 ??

Is there anything else I should be looking at in this price range ??

ATACR below the 7-35 are a half-step behind PM2 and ZCO etc. This isn't a knock since they are alot less expensive and have other virtues.

x42 for a daylight optic is nice and low profile, wider FOV and only 30 oz etc. also has good reticles.

I was looking at the 50mm... with a Mil XT, I imagine the are a step or so back. But I imagine they are a step or so ahead of a scope like the Gen 2 Razor... close to a Kahles.. with less CA.

Watching. I am in between the 4x16 and the 5x25 Nf for my.308 bolt gun

4-16 is badass.

ZCO 4-20

But seriously a 4-16 should be fine. How far are your targets and what size? I smoked a ghog at 680 with a ATACR 4-16. Plenty of magnification.

I would go with the x42. That lower profile turret and knobs are great.

I hear great things about the glass on the nx8 4-32. Supposed to be closer to the 7-35 glass than you would think.

The 4-32 NX8 would definitely provide more options in a similar sized package as the 4-16. Just depends on where you want the top end, 30mm vs 34mm tube, etcetera. Don’t know if you put things in front of and / or above your scopes.

Well I was just told that they are not accepting new orders on 4-16×50 F1 scopes... The rifle it will be going on is the one I shoot the most. That being said it is because with my schedule at work. I don't make it out to out long range spot much. This summer I made it out one time, the rest of the time I am regulated to about 450 yards, on 1/3 IPSC's.
