First let me thank all the readers of this forum! Every time I have asked, I have received sound advice.
After looking at scopes on-line for over month I am over loaded. I have a list of options I would like.
I need input as too what scope has them.
1) Front Focal Plane
2) Mil-line reticule
3) 0.1 mil adjustment on the turrets
4) High power setting 24X or better
5) Low power setting 8X or less
Thank you for your time.
Nightforce 8-32 x 56 NXS
Get the FFP option,
MLR reticle
1/10th Mil clicks
IOR has a nice 3-18x FFP scope. Mil knobs, Milhash II retical with 15 mils of holdover.
You can only use 12 at 18X. Its expensive at $1800.
Thank you for the info. It really helps !
If I had the money, I'd go with the nightforce NXS as stated above (~$1700)
I currently don't have that kind of cash so I'm going with a Vortex Viper PST 6-24 (~$900)
It's got FFP, Mil cross hairs, .1 mil turrets, illuminated reticle and lifetime warranty. I've heard they track spot on. There's also a few other's that are offering something similar this year, but I think I'll just stick with the Vortex as I've been over analyzing this for some time.
It's not out yet, but should be soon. I think SWFA is taking pre-orders right now.....
The last time I checked for the 8-32xQuote:

have to go 3.5-15 for the FFP reticle
have to go with 3.5-15 or 5.5-22x for milradian knobs though they appear to be offering milradian knobs soon on the higher power models.
They are offering a new 1000 yard reticle for the 3.5-15 up to 12-42x NXS line and a 1/8 MOA click knob option for the 8-32 and 12-42 NXS.
That reticle and the 1/8th clicks in a 2nd focal plane reticle would be my number one choice for a long range gun. 1/10 MIL clicks are way too coarse for precision long distance shooting.
Another new feature being offered is the high speed adjustment knob. It will double the elevation travel per revolution of the knob.
