So I am looking for a scope to match up to a Sako 995 in 338 Lapua that I am purchasing tomorrow morning.
I have narrowed it down to two scopes.
The Nightforce advantages are their reticle (for me any ways) Mil-C and 50mm objective
cons 30mm tube an weight. 28 0z vs 18 Oz
Leupold mark 5 hd 3x18. Pros, 35mm tube, weight 36% lighter. I could use the CCH reticle but its really busy. Cons for me reticle and 44mm objective.
Parameters for use, is to have one hunting rifle for the rest of my life praticing out to 1k, and I will take a poke every now and then to a mile. I will be hunting whitetail, elk, pronghorn, black bear, hogs. I wanted to be able to shoot up to 1k . The gun is not the question. THis is the gun that I want.
My current rifles include Sako trg42 in 338 lapua, Sako 995 in 375, tikka tac a1 in 260, I am very proficient at shooting to 1k and even do a lot of shooting out to 1 mile.
