Hello All, this will be my first post. I've wanted a Nightforce for a long time but never stepped up. I've shot for years using my 5R Rem 700 and my built by me JD Machine AR10. The scopes I have mounted are an ILL Ret Mark 4 LR/T 4.5X14 and Trijicon 5.5X20. Both have been great scopes but really never shot much of anything past 300 yards. What's driving the new scope purchase is the fact I'm stepping into a new 5R Rem 700 chambered in 300WM and expect to use it at 500-1000 yards regularly/primarily. I'm pretty sure I could target successfully with either of my other scope in between those ranges but would like to go bigger with this new rifle and work on closing my groups. I can afford either the 32 or 42 power NXS but don't know anyone who has one that I could work with to help make my decision. I didn't want to assume that the massive 42 was the way to go just because it's bigger. Never having had a super high power scope before and don't know what the drawbacks are when you go that big and hoped some may chime in with a few words of advice. I'm pretty darn sure the 8X32 will be more then adequate since I can target really well with my brothers 25 Power Mark 4 LR/T on his R700 Win Mag shooter. Zero Stop won't be ordered since I understand BORS won't work with that feature. I don't own it yet, but I will in the future and wanted to keep that in mind so I didn't have to buy another scope. Maybe this is too much to answer but figured I'd throw it out to see if I could get a couple replies with what others might get if their requirements were similar, had a $2K budget and had dreams of a Nightforce . Thanks in advance, I dig reading this forum.
