Spent alot of time researching while the rifle was being built. Settled on the Zeiss.
Ow that's funny!!Pretty sure my last ophthalmologist's equipment all said Tasco. Hence why I switched and got lasik.
HahaNF NF NF
I purchased a Begara .300PRCOrdering a new gun in 300 PRC. Western hunting. Which of these brands/models would you put on top of it? I know the NF is the heaviest but aside from that what's your experiences?
Bergara is nice. I own 2 of them. A Ridge rifle in 22-250 and the ridge rifle sp 18" barrel in 6.5 creed. Love the creed. Have yet to shoot the 250. But so far they are worth the money. But I wanted something even lighter. Again this is my dream gun. Plus the wife is paying for the gun portion out of her own money as a gift I'm buying the scope and whatever else is part of the package deal.I purchased a Begara .300PRC
And put a much larger muzzle break on it up to 60% I just love it for a entry level rifle here in Canada I found it reasonably priced at $1,700 .00 and it was on the shelf. I would of preferred a Ruger Hawkey chambered in .300PRC but the wait time was up to 2 years when I went to order it in turning 65 in May I'd sooner enjoy my time on my private 1.5 mile range. The Begara out of the box has a real sweet trigger at least the one I bought has and we haven't seen them up here yet but word has it Lapua is selling brass at your local sporting good store in USA. The only thing I'll change is I'm going to get a custom target or what we call a Bull Barrel put on it when I burn this one out. Enjoy your time and happy shooting. Ordering a new gun in 300 PRC.

Because it's much more fun to compare a $3000 NF to a $500 Leupold. All my current scopes are Zeiss, but thinking about an HD5 if I buy another rifle. I'm not about to do that until we can easily buy ammo, brass, etc., though.I have the Leupold HD5 and the 3X15 has worked well for me. It is not the lightest scope I have, but being a 30 MM tube it makes up for the added weight by being very clear. So far dial movements have been very precise and repeatable. At under 1K delivered, it was a bargain too. All you folks that tout nightforce should really compare them side by side with the Leupold HD5 and HD6. There is no doubt that Nightforce is a durable product, but as far as performance in the field, it doesn't match up, especially for the money spent.
