Thinking I may need a new scope in the future for a PRS type rifle, looking for suggestions. Want something in the 2-10 range, dont need any more than 10X to shoot to 700. Probably SFP cos its much easier to see the cross hairs at low power for those close shots. Dialable, and must have zero stop.......lets have at it and see whats out there, new or second hand. And yes I am a Kahles fan.
Theres a mill mill vxr firedot P5 dials on fs section.
Nightforce Compact.
No zero stop though.Quote:

That would be nice mikee, but dont want to go to 18X, nor 50mm. Be quite happy to find a nice tidy scope in the 2/3 - 10 range, that dials with zero stop. Most manufacturers want to keep going bigger and bigger, with all its inherent issues, I just want a scope about the average size of our old school scopes.Quote:

34 mm body tube but small footprint.
Designed for PRS, tactical, and competitive mid/long-range shooting.
Has side focus and zero stop. Illuminated reticle.
It's available in either Mil or MOA but only in FFP.
And don't forget the Burris Forever Warranty. :thumbsup:
I use a couple FFP scopes for long range and PRS/Hunter type events and find Im too busy turning up the power to get a cross hair thick enough for quick target acquisition, so am happy to use SFP for this project. Looks like Kahles have a 2-10 that might fit the bill.Quote:

Leupold Mk4 3.5-10x 40mm, 30mm tube. Just under 600 grams for the illuminated versions.
M1 and M5 turrets are 'open/target' type turrets (one is 1/4 MOA the other 1/2 I think)
M2 and M3 turrets are 'single turn/tactical/BDC' setups (former is 1/2 MOA clicks latter is 1 MOA clicks)
The illuminated models have a 'Euro' style fast focus eyepiece whereas the non-illuminated ones have locking eyepieces.
I have an illuminated M3 version. Shame they don't sell these anymore, nice wee scopes. You might get lucky and pick one up used.
Shameless plug. Maybe my Sig except its got too much zoom
I love this setup for hunting but I cant imagine it's ideal with PRS style shooting as it does take a bit of extra attention when rezeroing.Quote:

VX5 2x10
I typed this up but for some reason it didn't show up. Definitely a good option plus resale value is great vs most other options.Quote:

I have a VX5 3-15x44 with the Impact 29 reticle I'm needing to sell. Can send me a PM if interested.
Have used for a few of GPREs 22lr shoots and it's been excellent.
Go the VX5 2-10 ZL2, you know how good the 3-15 is. As mentioned the resale is almost guaranteed if you change you mind. Bloody PRS Al, you got the bug?Quote:

@Husky1600 have you settled on a scope yet? I have a NXS 2.5-10x32 with a pair of NF rings that I'd sell. They don't offer the Velocity 600 reticle any more, but it looks like this...

I had the same scope when they first came out, regret selling it. But sold it for more than I paid, so can’t complain.Quote:

Is the NXS a dial scope? And does it have zero stop? If it is a dial scope it certainly fits what Im after, then we would need to start talking beer tokens.Quote:

Mine is Mildot reticle and I can’t fault it as a good robust scope so I’d definitely have a look at this one above and compare directly with a VX5 2-10 as they offer very different things.

Your original post describes an NXS compact on every point.Quote:

Snap up the next second hand one you see, you won’t be disappointed.
I have the 42mm with the MOAR reticle, it’s the bees knees.
@Husky1600 this one is pre zero stop but is dialable and illuminated. I’ll take some pics in the next day or so and post them here.Quote:
