[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1681095, member: 54178"] Recently I bought a [B]6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro [/B](6 lbs. 3 oz.) for hunting mountainous Nevada. After an extensive search and looking at affordability (MARCH scopes were too pricey) I bought a[B] Bushnell Elite LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44[/B] scope with illuminated G3 reticle It weighs 27 oz. and is 14 1/2" long (kinda long but in the lighter weight range. THEN Nightforce comes out with the new[I] NX8 2.5 - 20 x 50 at 28.3 oz.[/I] and [B]12"[/B] long. That's 2 1/2 " shorter than my LRTS. Would I have bought the NX8 scope had it been out in time? YEP, even at around $900., more street price. Ain't it always the case? Ya buy a shiny new item and a few months later something better comes out. Ah well, I'm very satisfied with the performance of my new LRTS and will keep it. BTW, I "needed" FFP, mil/mil & lighted reticle. Many scope that would otherwise be fine like Leupold VX6 don't cut it on one or more of those "needs". So what's your mountain rifle scope choice? Eric B. [/QUOTE]
