Id like to try a sightron,they get good raps. Iv got a few boxes of 230gr otms floating round maybe I need to build a big dirty thirty and try one
The scope choices are almost endless these days but when its all round performance some scopes stand out a little.The 3-15 nightforce for example is a 3k scope with a 50mm objective, for simmilar money the March has a far better mag range a 42 mm objective is over all more compact and and weighs 1/3 less. Certainly you dont need much more than 12-14 power to shoot things at 500yds but if theres no down side then why not? The bottom end is more relevant in stalking situations though and getting down into the 2.5-3 x area is good. You could do the job with a 3-10 x something but why when you can get 2.5-16 or better? Again though any real advantage isnt huge by any means.

I think the SIII scopes are great (would like another 1 or 2), I had a 4.5-14 SF SII big sky and it was also pretty good but 4.5 at the low end was a tad high and it was 18-20 moa per turn which was a bit much on a small dial (half the size of the sIII dial) the clicks were very fine...good glass though...and lighter than the Weaver I have ATM.

Budget sure does cloud the options a little as the one to get for me is the March or Swaro...just to much $$$ for me ATM

Weaver Superslam 3-15x42sf.

Kinda does it all and at a reasonable price, but as with any one size fits all solution, its not going to be a perfect fit for everyone.

That is a bit like saying you want an economical car for day to day city driving and easy parking yet also needs to take on the big boys down the motorway.
Have you thought of two scopes with quick release?

Nice & light with good glass & enough mag.
I use 4-6 in the bush, but thats just how I like it.
It's a waste of time having a lovely light little rifle & then sticking a bloody great scope or suppressor etc on it.......

You must hunt in Narnia Greg with a 4.5-6. Or is it bush you can see over the top of?

Lol Narnia or Nadia ?
The bush I hunt is usually fairly open 15-70+metres.,
Not that crap on the coast when you turn around twice & wonder where the hell you are......god bless gps....
I used to have a 1.5-6 Kahles on one of my bush rifles & always ended up using 4-5+ power.
It was cool on 1.5, with the suppressor on it looked like a video game

I have too admit seeing my muzzle on low power is sometimes distracting. Who's Nadia you dog?

True! I have too. Sorry mate, I do have a bad memory, especially with names. I can forget them 2 seconds after I am told them, very poor form on my part.
