[QUOTE="AFmaryland, post: 2869984, member: 127169"] I just picked up a new win mag for a lightweight hunting rifle as kind of a go anywhere, do anything build. I am looking to put a light-ish optic on it but I'm a bit torn on some options. Ideally, I like an illuminated reticle for when in the dark timber early. I don't really need more than 10-15 magnification for my hunting nor do I need a 50-56 objective as I'm trying to keep it compact in general. I want to keep the lower magnification below 4 if possible as I hunt all over the place (thick timber and more open spaces). I also am not a huge fan of turret caps...but it seems most high end scopes for hunting have a locking turret for elevation, but a cap for wind. I dial on each shot, so it would be great to find a locking windage turret or a nice exposed turret that doesn't move easily as I know I could just leave the cap off but seems a bit dicey. [LIST] [*]I see mostly positive reviews on the NSX 2.5-10 x42 but I hear the eye relief is a bit tight, and the reticle is not ideal...it does have an exposed windage turret that doesn't seem to lock but reports say it doesn't shift around in the field. [*]I see mostly positive reviews for the Zeiss V4 4-16 x44 but it is a bit heavier, and I wonder if I would benefit more from the lower 2.5 magnification with the NSX when in the timber for closer shots..this is the only one I found with an exposed locking windage turret. [*]I see a lot of love for the Vx5HD and Vx6HD but it has a capped windage turret... [*]Mixed but positive reviews for the Vortex Razor LHT 3-15x44 but it has a capped windage turret... [/LIST] I checked out a few other brands (swaro, leica, Sig, trijicon) and haven't seem a locking or exposed windage turret. Let me know if you have any suggestions or opinions thanks! Also feel free to just tell me to learn to live with caps haha [/QUOTE]
