Hey guys have a edge that needs a new scope was thinking a nxs 5.5-22x56 or an atacr scope has to be milrad,
Any other suggestions looking to keep the budget to $3k or under
I'm thinking of selling my S&B PM2, would be a litlle over $3k but not by too much....
What's the rest of the set up ? is it a light weight etc
I ran a NXS 5-22 x 50 on my lw edge & now running a Swavo X5 ( saved even more ) Would even go a 3-18 VX6 if I want'a go lighter still.
But If your not worried about weight & has to be milrad then than Atacr, S&B or Kahles will do the jobbie.
March bro ,oops saw your budget , 2nd hand march
It is a relatively lightweight job so atacr would be the heaviest I'd go would like to just throw a nxs on top but pretty sure the atacr will have nicer glass etc but an extra 200 grams really like the look of the new vortex razor amg but I'm sure will be stupid expensive here
Nah man blows the budget by heaps and don't need the low down magQuote:

Yeah then NXS would be ya best bet, Was guna mount an Actar on mine but the weight & size would of destroyed the balance & weight.
Pros for a NSX- 22x is plenty, they hold zero & dial great, 30mm tube so plenty of ring options, have good glass, plenty of elevation adjustment & they're a good bit of kit :cool:
Not sold on March as being great value for money ( I think they're way over priced for the glass ) but their features are good.
pm2, man up and carry the weight
nothing beats good glass
Don't think they fit the budget mate unless you've got one for under $3k?Quote:

I wasn't able to see animals as clearly with Swaro EL 40mm binos as late into darkness as with the 50mm NF so I struggle to justify the extra size over a 50mm myself.
VX6 if you want lightweight and if the 18x mag will be enough for you which it should be for most hunting to +1000m.
I think it will be a nightforce I want more mag than 18x and want zero stop etc how much better is the atacr glass wise anyone? The new enhanced version.Quote:

My older NXS is way off pace on glass quality, but the new one is great!
You can see the difference between the NSX and ATACR pretty easily.
Sharper, brighter image plus more time at last light is what I found.
In saying that, I have seen a difference between two Atacr's that was similar.
If ya obsessed with having the best scope with best glass, Swavo X5 end of story :D
Was that a ffp vs sfp? I'm curious to know if the new enhanced ones are any better?Quote:

Yeah that's their worst feature, left me scratching my head why they made it half an inch higher than needs be & just so bloody big'n'ugly :O_O:Quote:

But it's like a hooker, just because she has no teeth and will do anything making her perfect for the job, you still want one that looks good.
Bro as you no I spent the week looking at and through S&B scopes and for me that describes then perfectly.Quote:

They're just curvaceous.
X5 has a tumor growing out the top of it
Thanks for the input guys at this stage I'm thinking the atacr as it has a few more features I like such as capped wind age turret and the better glass, compact size but only downside is 200 grams more
I have a Atacr on mine and am more than happy,glass is noticeably better than my Nxs, Used the capped windage turret once and took it off.
Im sure you won't be disappointed if get one.
Was this the gun you were thinking about the mk6 for?
The only downside to the mk6 is 18x on the top end.
But:
11.9 inches long vs 14.3
24oz vs 39oz
And it also has FFP, capped windage turret, zero stop etc etc etc. I think you'd get it cheaper than a new atacr too.
Perfect for a long range rig, but alas mine got stolen.

Nah that was for my 7 saum which has a vx6 on it now I think I'll just have to put up with the extra weight there's always a compromise somewhereQuote:
