Thread: Scope of Sako Carbonlite .260

Apologies for "another one of those" questions but a mate is about to drop the coin on a .260 Carbonlite and asked me what scope he should get.

Local stores don't have a lot of selection so not a lot to compare against. He's the kind of guy that likes nice things and is in the fortunate situation to be able to pay for them.The intended use is hunting and also gong shoots out to around 900m. My experience is with heavier target type optics so hence asking the question. I suggested something in around the 3-18 magnification range with the ability to dial. Maybe a Leupold VX-6HD? He's used my NSX's and S&B but I thought something a bit lighter/compact would suit his carbonlite better.

So what would you suggest given its intended use?
