    Picked up my new scope today at Hamills and got talking about the ELD-X and Noslar LR, seems that some people have trouble getting the Noslar LR to shoot in there rifles whereas the Hornady ELD-X and M seem to be easier to get to shoot well plus they are cheaper than the Noslar's.
    Plenty of ELD-X are advertised on Trade Me.

    That sounds like you should definitely try the 175 ELD then
