[QUOTE=".284, post: 1062681, member: 19604"] Here's my 2c. I used the swarovski 3-18 brx for years and it worked well but I didn't like having to crank it to 18 power for the hold over marks to line up. It's a bit too much to spot your shots when your not shooting too far. Plus they are spaced .5 mil apart so while yes it does work you are still holding off a little. I switched to a nightforce compact though I was a little apprehensive about only 10x on the top end. I should of switched years ago, 10x is plenty and I've used it out confidently on targets out to 1000 yards or so. For me having the ability for a long poke is great but if I have just spent 2 days packing in and a few searching around for a ram I'm gonna get as close as possible and I've never had to shoot over 550 for a ram. If the winds were good I would be very confident to stretch out to the limit of my round for bullet expansion and in no way feel limited by 10x power and love the ability to dial right where I need to rather than possibly hold in between the hash marks on the swarovski. My sheep rifle is built off a rem titanium and its 9lb 1 oz all up with a brake, bipod, rail, picatiny rings, level etc. Bare rifle is 5lb 15oz. [/QUOTE]
