Whats your fav scope? This is mine...

SO YOU CAN SHOOT LIKE ONE

Long-range hunting



5.5-22 x 50 NXS
Originally developed for the U.S. military’s extreme long range shooting and hard target interdiction, both 5.5-22 Nightforce models provide a broad magnification range, four inches of eye relief and 100 MOA of elevation travel. These characteristics have proven highly appropriate for the .50 BMG, allowing shooters to accurately reach to 2000 yards and beyond. It retains a slim profile and is easily adaptable to a wide range of mounting systems. The superb resolution at high magnification also opens an entirely new world of extended range for the accomplished marksman.


“I purchased a Nightforce
5.5-22 x 56 in 2001. I used it to put 12,500 shots through two .50 BMGs.
I fired another 4000 shots with it on an AR10. Then, I mounted it on a 14.5/114mm Russian (570 gr. of powder propelling a 1000 gr. bullet at 3300 fps) and fired 970 rounds. Most scopes break within one to ten shots on the Russian…not the Nightforce.



Then I used it for another 47 rounds through a 25mm Hotchkiss, 3000 through a Barrett M90, and 6000 rounds from a Savage M250.

“After six years and all this punishment, the zero settings on the 5.5-22 have never changed and it still works perfectly.

“Nightforce is the best I have ever used.”

5.5-22 x 56 NXS
The ultimate long range scope. Its 56mm objective lens provides maximum clarity and resolution across the entire magnification range. The most advanced field tactical scopes ever produced, the wide magnification factor of our 5.5-22 series allows precision accuracy at the longest ranges, yet at 5.5 power remains highly effective for shots at close ranges. Nightforce was the first company committed to perfecting extreme magnification variable power scopes. Our years of experience perfecting long-range optics is evident in every scope we build.

I just bought a Burris Fullfield II 3-9X40 Ballistic Plex. I'm very impressed with it for a $200.00 scope :thumb . I put it on a sub $400.00 rifle.

My favorite is Unertl. For obvious reasons.
The more people I meet the more I prefer dogs!

Sounds like you know a good scope. My personl favorite is my Schmidt and Bender PM Marksman II 5-25 X 56. Its a Monster but it can take some amazing abuse as well and let you see a tic on a deers rump from a mile away. lol
