Scope advice

[RHT447]

That is a myth. A few years from now scope companies will come out with a new and improved generation, and you'll be paying and crying again.

Do tell. Maybe sooner. I jumped on this deal from Midway. It is the SFP model which is what I prefer. The current rage/new model is FFP, so older model is going for cheap.

More deals for those on a tight(er) budget--

I have the first focal plan Nightforce SHV 4X14 on a railed LRB M25 and I love the scope

I have a leupold vx II 4-12x40 mm with AO for 325 bucks paid 430 FOR IT. Mounted on rifle and only 2 boxes of ammo thru it.

Try looking at Vortex or Athlon. At your price range, you can pick up a used vortex razor easily. I would also highly recommend Athlon Cronus BTR. All the bells and whistles and it's perfect for your 6.5. Have you picked out rings yet? I'd recommend ARC's as they are one of the best and is one of the easiest to set up.

If you need any help or have any questions let me know.

Check out his page. A lot of good info on quality optics of many makes. I've met him in person, he is very meticulous with his testing standards.
In the higher ranges, March, TT, etc. deliver.

Thanks for the insight on the ARC's; I'll probably go with these rings. Do you have the individual rings or the unimount?

Look for deals on Zeiss I absolutely love my scope

[k1dude]

There's this for $399. Normally $799. It's a tad heavy, but it's because it's FFP.

I have the individual rings. They might be expensive but they are well made and installation is a breeze. I tried badger, seekins, vortex, as well as few others and they don't compare when it comes to ease of installation imo.

Thanks, I think I'm going to go with unimount, I might have to take off the scope to get it in the safe.

Thanks again
