Looking for opinions on Huskemaw scopes

[Cowboy Hunter]

Just putting it out there to see if its worth it to go up from a 5-20x50 blue Diamond.
I've had great success with the 5-20x50 on a 300 RUM of mine that I have used hunting and slamming some long range steel targets. Now I have a 280 Ackley that's my light weight rig and i sold the scope that was on it. I was going to put the 5-20x50 on it and jump into a 5-30x56 for the 300 Rum. But for the cost of the 5-30x56 over a 5-20x50 is a huge jump in price. And I don't have much experience with anything over a NXS 5.5-22x50 that i have too. Just asking for some opinions thank for any info on the 5-30x56 if any.

I think the 5-20x50 is just about perfect. I just got a Maven RS3 5x30x50 for my 6.5 prc. I find that I don't use above 20 power for anything inside of 500.

Just wish they would get some in stock somewhere. Been wanting to try a 5-20 blue Diamond.

I've run my 5-20 out to 1560 yards but if weight and money isn't an issue I'd go bigger.

I compared one side by side with my Swarovski z5 5-25X52. Both of us who compared them saw no difference in the glass.

Good to know I have heard they upgraded their glass on the tactical hunter scopes? Thanks

Yes my self too I guess it's just in the sense of preference beyond 1000 yards and 30 would help i've never used one with that magnification 24 was the max for myself thanks for some feedback.

I have the 5-20 on my both of my Redrock precision rifles and I really like the scope.....easy to focus quickly at long distances....crystal clear

I looked at the 5-20 tactical hunter yesterday I was impressed with the quality of the glass !

Yes I do have a 5-20 blue on a 280 Ackley really like glass. They have updated the Tactical model for better yet on the Quality of glass. Just need to know if going up to 5-30 is worth it for me witch more then likely is but bigger cost lol. Guess I should look for maybe used or stop thinking about it lol

Just curious what's your rig set up that you got your 5-20 on?

Custom 7 LRM. 180 Berger's At the time I had a 20 MOA rail on.

For anyone thats still looking for a huskemaw I noticed that Redhawk just got some of the 5-20x50 blue Diamonds in. $1249.99 plus tax. I believe they got some of the 4-16s as well.
