[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1545794, member: 103996"] I have a ridgeline in 28 Nosler and I love it. Also for scope in that range the Nightforce 3.5-15 is about perfect, and there is one in the optics for sale forum for a great price. The only downside to Nightforce is that they’re rather heavy (cost of being so tough) [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/nightforce-nxs-3-5-15x50-mlr-mil.210848/[/URL] This one is posted in the optics for sale right now and is a great price, the best thing about 3.5 to 15 is that it’s got a low enough bottom end power that you can still use it in semi brushy situations. The 5.5-22 is great but you really don’t need 22 power at 3-600 yards, and if you use a reticle to do holdovers on a second focal plane you need to be at the max power or the reticle will be inaccurate, and 22 power is just too much for that range in my experience. I would even argue that 12 power is sufficient for deer and elk at 600, but the 3.5-15 is a nice balance, if you can stand the weight. I have used Swaro’s but I’ve never owned one so I wont give my opinion on them, same thing with the hells canyon. But a ridgeline is a lot of rifle for the money, highly recommend, and the nxs in the classifieds is a pretty great deal if you don’t mind buying private. [/QUOTE]
