    The 2.5-10x42 is the exception. If you want lightweight it's really hard to go past Leupold. If you want reliability it's hard to go past NF.

    My first large game riffle was the 7mm rem mag and I thought it was the only calibre to use on deer until I started reading posts from champion hunters like Tahr. After the endless kills posted I...

    tikka liked post by Bagheera On thread : Rifle Scope
    For the Tararuas you need absolute ruggedness , waterproofness and a low profile for climbing through scrub. That narrows you down to Nightforce SHV, Kahles and Leupold. Only Leupold VX 3 will fit...
