Scope and Cartridge Help

[Will16]

I agree. The NF and comparable are a cut above. I have a customer that is all hot and bothered about the march scopes. And he has NF. Buy what you want.

I've only heard good things about march. What was the problem?

$1100 to hit it with a screw driver, ha with today's tech, and even people like vortex getting optics to track. I'll stick with NF.

He is talking about Leupolds inexpensive VXII line of scopes...not their $1100 VX5HDs

So I should just sacrifice the extra weight and go nightforce? Wanting to spend about 2k and no more than 4 on the low end and no less that 20 on the high end for magnification.

No man, go with the VX6HD and don't think twice. They are amazing. Nightforce scopes fail, just like any other scope. I would venture to bet that they have the same rate of failure as Leupolds high end VX6HDs and Mark 5hds. Leupold just sales a whole lot more scopes, so there are bound to be a couple that need work. I have owned several VX5HDs and VX6HDs and they are amazing.

Also, most of leupolds tracking problems were guys trying to treat their cheaper older line of scopes like VX2's and VX3's like a tactical scope - which they were never meant to be. Their new high end scopes are awesome.

There was no problem. Just that a friend of his had a march and after trying it he wanted one bad

What do you guys think about the high end burris scopes?

At 2k you can find some of the best used, like Kahles, swaro x5i, NF, and sometimes S&B. Don't buy off eBay and be careful about the transaction.

Go back and read his post - he said he also has some VX6's and has not had any trouble.

I tend to pay attention to what the military uses. Leupold, NF, S&B

Sorry. Read to fast.

Having a new long range hunting rifle built off of a rem 700. Haven't quite decided on cartridge but leaning towards 28 nosler. Any others I should be looking at? I've got an edge fill McMillan, and proof carbon fiber barrel so I'm trying to keep weight down. The vx6HD has caught my eye with being light and having everything I want. Anyone have first hand experience with the 4-24? Any other scopes I should be looking at? Let me know what you think!

I feel like they're all good do what I need I just need to pick one with the features I like. And for me that's the vx6 at the moment. Haven't looked through or held a nightforce yet so I'll do that before I decide
