Scope help

ColeT96 · Sunday at 6:55 PM

I've got a 28 nosler being built and should be done in a month or so. I still can't decide on a scope. Let's say budget is no option. I will buy once cry once if needed. Currently debating, and it must me MOA, and FFP. BUT, I need a hunting friendly reticle with low lighting. I'm currently thinking of:

Leupold mark 5 5-25
Revic RS25 5-25
Nightforce atacr
I'm open to any and all suggestions.

I vote for Schmidt and bender.
Followed by U.S. optics
And or Steiner if budget isn't an option

ATACR and it isn't close based the options presented in the OP.

You think the Kahles is the bank buster in that group?

I found a tanget theta 525p for 3200. I know it's heavy at 40 ounces but might be willing to compromise for quality

Nope just for a common sense hunting scope. Yes Tangent theta is more money but not as practical for hunting. If you want to play the game of most expensive then that's another game. I think for most hunting situations anything in the 2k range is going beyond enough.
And just going into the stupid category unless your being paid to shoot someone or something for a living. Or you just have stupid money laying around.

Everyone's budget is different. It's not our place to tell someone what is stupid or not. If they want a TT, hell ya. No different than trucks, houses or fake hooters. Everyone spends their money as they see fit.

I'm not concerned about trying to get the most expensive. I just don't want to skip any steps. Like mentioned above. If I can get something really good it can feee up money for a spotter or something

Buy a NF and move on.

Tangent Theta 315HH--it is my favorite scope.
I wished they did a 42mm objective-- with a G2 type reticle but this is what I like:

The best turret system
Great tactile clicks
Great glass
Fantastic fit and finish

What I don't like:
4K price tag...

That's true. But as we say at work when the owner spends more money on stupid **** that 4 people probably could retire on we call it stupid money. Like buying a 5 axis lathe thinking it's going to replace the mills and grinders and get rid of 3 shifts . Only to sit on the shop floor for 6 years and do nothing because some college educated idiots listened to a salesman at a convention. And then end up selling a 3 million dollar machine with tooling for 30 grand is called stupid money. But hey it's only his money and not any body's else that works for the company and can't get a raise because of stupid decisions.

Lance gave you a nice list. If you want to split the difference to put something towards a spotter buy a nx8, nxs, mark 5hd imo. Sounds like you'll end up with a high end piece regardless. Buy what tickles your fancy. Now if you want to talk high end spotters that are small. I'm all in on the swaro stc. Worth every penny imo. My 2 cents good luck.
