Scope help

Take a look at TractToric, for a hunting model use the TORIC UHD 4-25X50 34mm FFP MOA Eagleman Long Range Hunting Rifle Scope. You will get a 160 Elevation in MOA. You will not have to pay North of $1500.00.
 
Nope just for a common sense hunting scope. Yes Tangent theta is more money but not as practical for hunting. If you want to play the game of most expensive then that's another game. I think for most hunting situations anything in the 2k range is going beyond enough.
And just going into the stupid category unless your being paid to shoot someone or something for a living. Or you just have stupid money laying around.
Tangent Theta TT315M is the best hunting scope ever made.
 
I have an ATACR 5-25x56 SFP with Digillum MOART reticle I'm planning on selling but I see that you have only 5 messages so far and probably can't get on the classified section or send a PM.

If interested I'd provide an email address that you can email me at or you can provide yours here and I'll send you an email. Also if you don't live way up there in northern Alabama a face to face exchange would work as well.
 
I've got a 28 nosler being built and should be done in a month or so. I still can't decide on a scope. Let's say budget is no option. I will buy once cry once if needed. Currently debating, and it must me MOA, and FFP. BUT, I need a hunting friendly reticle with low lighting. I'm currently thinking of:

Leupold mark 5 5-25
Revic RS25 5-25
Nightforce atacr
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Is there any consideration about weight?
After lugging around a 34 ounce Steiner scope for an average of 10 miles a day for five days in Newfoundland (think hiking through the bog) (total rifle weight of 11.5lbs), I decided to go lightweight and had made a lightweight rifle (6 lbs 4 oz) and I purchased the March 3–24 x 42 mm scope (MOA FFP) which weighs about 22 ounces.
Many of the scopes mentioned above are pretty heavy.

What most of these threads lack is a high enough degree of objectivity. I understand thay many of the OPs are asking broad questions. But these threads turn into almost meaningless banter when there isn't decision making criteria being requested or given. Heck, maybe that's what some people want....something to talk about without the need to really get to a point of decision, but it sure gets hard to read sometimes. Now, I'm going to go put my cry towel in the dryer, and try to be more positive in my future responses.

When someone says "price is no concern"...you break out the top tier alpha optics level suggestions. I own (or have shot behind) all my suggestions.

Which is why I usually stay out of the "my budget is $500" threads.

Man when I seen the recommendations threads that is the one thing I think about is scope weight. Most of the time the rifle is not overly light to begin with then you stick a 34-40 oz scope on it--and it makes whatever a tank--I have found most scopes in the 20-28 oz range acceptable--over 30 oz you need to be committed to have heavy rifle or need all the bells and whistles usually a heavy scope offers. And if the scope really doesn't offer anything other than weight--it needs to be culled...
