Hey guys, looking for some help. Im having a new rifle being built. It's a defiance ultra light LA, with a proof carbon lite barrel and AG composites stock. It's chambered in 300WM.
It's going to be used for hunting mainly out west for elk and mule deer in the high country. For hunting im looking at a max of 600-700 yards. It'll also be used for target shooting, as far as I can get. We have a place where we can get 1300 yards.
The problem is, I'm having a hard time finding a scope that I like. Im looking for a mil based scope that is in second focal. Preferably with a plex reticle. Not a fan of bdc or xmas reticles. I'd like for it to be under 25 oz. Either exposed or capped turrets is fine, as long as I can dial w them. Prefer a 50mm bell. Looking for a power range somewhere around 4-16. Trying to keep it under 2k.
I have a MK5 but for hunting it doesn't work for me. You can't see the reticle under 10 power. Looking to sell it so I have some cash for this new scope.
Only scopes that I've found are the VX-5 or 6s but their MOA. Looked at March scopes but people are 50 50 on weather they like them or not. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
