    The nightforce 2.5-20 NX8 would pretty much cover most bases, rifles, hunting, targets...ranges though if can afford the $$$
    Having just put the 2.5x20 on my 308 tikka I'm in love with it.
    On sunday was validating at 1264m on papa then on the edge of darkness found it easily had enough light gathering to place my shot on a red spiker.
    An amazing scope worth every cent and dont regret the money I spent to own arguably the toughest most reliable and repeatable scope on the market today bar none.
