    Scope musings

    Hey folks. Here's another 'help with scopes' post

    The goal here is to settle on something which I can use primarily on a hunting rifle in the North Island. This'll likely be a Tikka T3x or Bergara B14 Extreme Hunter in 7mm08 or .308 (that's another debacle).
    I do intend to shoot longer range with it now and then at club days (600yds, maybe more), and have aspirations to do South Island trips in the future when time allows.

    This is pretty much the shortlist at the moment.

    From reading here on the forums the general impression I get is go with Leupold or Swarovski but I enjoy the process and want to look at all my options.
    Please feel free to chip in and provide any insight or experience you may have.

    Regarding the Nightforce, the NZ prices are absolutely mental. I could get the NXS 2.5-10 for almost half in Aus for example.
