Hey guys throwing an interesting thread out there...
I'm after a lightweight scope, with a 5-25 or thereabouts mag range, for LR work with good tracking, non capped turrets, and glass good enough to tip up deer at dusk.
Mil or Moa doesn't really bug me.
I hoping I've missed a brand, that's light and fits the bill.
I'm looking forward to suggestions[emoji41]

What about a Bushnell?
Tasco or nikko sterling. Maybe a ranger or whatever from guncity.
My answer was actually serious @Toby.
how light is light?
Mine wasn't :)Quote:

Whats wrong with the HD5? You have tried them before. Not up to it?
March? 50mm.
Nothing it's top of the list and currently on one rifle.Quote:

With the Zero stop removed it's easy to get lost when going out to 1000+ as there's no turret graduation lines, it's my only dislike.
A Moa/mil marked reticle would also be handy.
Not half fussy a!!!!

Do you know your max elevation from zero or approx. max range dialable? if so don't need zero stop just come back down from max.

gay scope :thumbsup:
As suggested up top by kiwijames, I can't seem to fault the March 2.5-25.. I'm running the 42mm, which admittedly ain't overly flash in low light.. But could go 50mm? Size, weight, tracking, mag range all fits the bill :thumbsup:
Less mag would mean getting away with a smaller lense and hence less weight.
The mag range is the most important bit to meQuote:

Light and enough mag for anything Hunting wise.

You should talk to the manufacturers mate and get a BRADS pro model built :D
Plenty if you use the standard turret and no zero stop. Only 13.5 MOA with ballistic turret.Quote:

Not good enough for steel but plenty for me at the range I will ever shoot animals.

+1 for HD5, bloody good glass & real hard to beat on value for $. I read on one of US forum websites about making your own zero stop from a nylon washer (longrange hunting forum i think)
Might be able to use one out of the Blouser.Quote:

Schmidt and Bender do a PM2 5-20x50 which is the same weight as their 3-12 ie 870g its 30cm so smaller than most mentioned here and has single turn with 17 mRad which will get a 308 to 1000m in the arctic. Modest specs but it would be rugged and easy to use.
What has happened to the weaver superslam ? I know they compromise a bit in brightness and field of view but they did the job.
They probably fell out of fashion like most things on here :P . There really are some gear whores on here & I'm one of the worst!Quote:
