4) scope is relative to the intended use. For instance don't put a 3-15 vx5 on a bush pig 308 when a 2-10 vx5 will suffice beautifully.
5) field of view.

That would be my top 5 so to speak.

@Rock river arms hunter well said.

I've put a Swaro z6i 1-6 on one of the new fluted Bergara Extreme Hunters. The glass clarity is ultra clear and crisp all the way from 1x to 6x. I'm hoping to get to 350 yards with it though I must admit I have thought about getting slightly more magnification maybe a 1-8 or 1.7 -10. I'll see how it goes when I take it out.
