[QUOTE="Deleted member 107666, post: 1517867"] My only experience with higher dollar/highpower optics is a Khales 624i. I'm building a lighter weight hunter in 300wm, carbon barrel, manners EH stock, etc. So weight is a factor. A 6-24 or 5-25 seems like overkill on the weight for my build. I really never shoot on higher than 12 power or so, out to 800 yards (maybe I'm doing that wrong and should be at a higher magnification?) Anyway, Im looking at 3-15, 3-20 optics, mainly to save weight over their full sized brothers. Something like the TT315 or the S&B Ultra Short. This rifle will double as a range rifle and may see occasional use in some novice/open PRS type matches, just for fun really, I realize that a lightweight 300wm isnt a great choice for that, but it's just for fun and some extra trigger time shooting from strange positions. Does anyone see a need for more than 15/20x in a long range hunting optic? I know the bigger optics are all the rage, and I liked the 6-24, but if I can cut some weight down and get by, I'd like to. Thanks in advance for the inputs. [/QUOTE]
