I understand that feeling completely. And the money shock.. And now I have 6 real good scopes. Im kind of partial to my Delta Stryker 4.5-30x56 FFP ELR and my TRACT Toric 4.5-30x56. I also have a Valdada Texas Raider 3-24x50 that's pretty solid too. Buying my 1st expensive scope was a long well though AGONIZING process.. Then the next few was just like riding a bicycle.. Just click that button on my Dell Computer.. LOL I looked at a Hensoldt butb $7,800. was just a little more squeak that I had oil for.LOLits been a couple years that I've agonized over spending a decent amount of money on a quality/turret reliable scope. Every time I think I have the right one figured out, another review or concern over weight/glass/best bang for buck/etc would pop up and fog my decisions. Al Gore's internet can be a blessing and a curse.
Well, a NF NX8 F2 4-32 is on my way. I even agonized over which NF once I set my decision on that brand. Planning on using it on a 300PRC.
You picked a good proven scope yourself.
