Looking for a long range scope. Shooting off the bench out to 1k.*
Variable power, looking in the 8-32 range or simmilar. I had a Weaver T36 that I really liked* but not going with a fixed power for this project.
Weight isn't an issue one way or the other and the scope won't be used for any kind of field work. No "tactical" matches, no hunting
Looking at reviews it sounds like the Nightforce are the scopes to beat, but lot of folks like the Zeiss, the Sightrons etc.*
As far as budget goes, I'd obviously rather spend less than more but don't want to shoot myself in the foot either.* Most of these scopes are a little under or over the $1k mark- with some dropping down around 7-800 and others pushing 13-1400. I don't want to go with a "cheaper" scope, only to wish I'd bought something better. At the same time I don't want to spend money on features I won't use, or buy a brand just because its the "in" brand.*
Don't have anything against Nightforce- but don't want to pass up looking at others that would be comparable.
Thoughts?
