[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1060817, member: 33822"] Thanks guys for the advice. I've still got some time to figure out which scope to hunt with this fall. Right now I've got the ATACR mounted on my 338 for load development. I'm waiting for some 300 Accubonds to come into stock so I'm kind of stuck waiting at the moment. I was thinking that once I get my load proven and verified at long range with the ATACR, I am going to mount my Vortex PST and see how I am able to shoot at long range with such an inferior optic. That may change my mind as to the scope I decide to actually hunt with. I don't think I'll hunt with the PST, but will be an interesting test. I have no doubt that the Swaro optics would be a solid choice for my rifle. You get both light weight and top end optics and performance. no compromise except for cost. And based on cost, the Z5 really has my attention especially with the tip about a turret from Bruce/HighPowerOptics. One thing that has me confused, is looking on swaro's website, I see the BRH reticle on the Z5, but not with the model that also has ballistic turrets. What am I missing here? Would I just buy a non-turret model with the BRH reticle and replace the cap with an elevation turret from HighPowerOptics? [/QUOTE]
