Thread: Scope for medium range shooting: recommendations please.

I will be very interested to see what you end up with @norsk. I am going through a similar discussion with myself at the moment and can't quite find the perfect scope. The balance of weight/magnification and illumination is a tricky one. The rifle I am looking at changing the scope on is currently wearing a 3-9x42 Kahles which weighs 477gms with Talleys rings and keeps the rifle to a very nice 3kgs. I think I want more magnification, and I would like illumination and dial up. The Z5i sort of ticks all those boxes or another VX5 but the weight is getting up. Maybe the 4-12x Kahles (not sure what they cost) but is 12x enough magnification?
First world problems eh.
