Rifle Scopes High end long range choice
- Thread starter bluewaveaudio
- Start date
shooting the neighbors cats at a mile. no specific purpose but to have a long range rifle. would say 500-2200 yard range.
Kahels is not on the list because they wouldn't even talk to me when I was getting my FFL off the ground years ago. Ive told them to pound rocks multiple times since.
a NXS 32 would have been my go to but its a second focal plane, I believe they are in the same category as Vortex AMG, HD2 or Eotech Vodo, built by LOW in Japan.
Of the choices you’ve listed, S&B. If you’d be willing to throw TT into the mix that would be my top vote.
the 25x is the only thing that I'm worried about, 25 to 45x is a big difference. were talking about $700 difference between the S&B and the TT
I think you are overestimating how many times will use a magnification power higher than 25x (I rarely go above 20x). If you want to see .22 holes in paper then I can see the use, but finding the targets while that zoomed in will be challenging.
In regards to precision shooting most would rarely use below 8x and above 20x.

ELR has some unique demands. If you haven't already, I would check the ELR forum.

The new March scope mentioned in that thread.

The MK8 has a 35MM main tube which somewhat limits ring availability. I recently bought my first Alpha scope and bought a couple of sets of the new Burris XTR Signature rings.

The build quality on these looks terrific. They supply up to 40MOA of additional cant.
It's an amazing time to be messing with this stuff. Let us know what you decide on and how it works out.

Bushnell XRS2.
Been using a few this year for PRS matches, great optic. It won the KO2M also this summer. It's a fantastic value at it's price point. Available with G3, H59, and Tremor reticle if I am not mistaken. I have the G3 and G59 myself.

A ZCO? Ha Ha you are going to recommend a scope that isn't even out yet that has absolutely zero track record..... Wow you are one of those dudes that does reviews on a scope right when you pull it out the box before its even mounted with zero time behind it........Please tell us you are not basing that recommendation off their spec sheet......if that is the case how about a Counter Sniper.....LOL
Not sure how long ago this was but Kahles is distributed by Swarovski USA now here in the states. For a number of years it was another company that was doing the distribution. They may not change your opinion but just thought you might want to know.
