As for the reticle I would reccomend the moar reticle in the nf as it is not too busy and can only benefit you.
True moa reticles are a god send. Unless your a mil guy.... Then your beyond help :chuckle:

A MOA reticle and having a MOA reticle in my Razor 85 30WA eyepiece made short work of dealing with shifting winds and getting on target with rockchucks. No fuss, no muss with dialing anything, just count dots and hold off on a second shot. Really makes it nice when targets are few and far between, which many of the colonies I shoot only offer five or six targets in a morning's shoot. The only short coming is that I only have a couple scopes w/MOA reticle. But I really don't need it for the shorter range stuff.

I never shot chucks but that is exactly the benefit to them :tup: I been drooling over that 30 x moa eye piece since I got my razor spotter

Can't go wrong with Zeiss, NF, Leupold, Sightron, or any other top shelf glass in my opinion. Comes down to what features and specs you want.

Blue locktite betw the rings and scope? That may be a good thing for me now that my can of Scotch Coat is all dried up and I can no longer find it for sale. I had to send the Burris 3-9 Signature on my big game rifle back this year. It is a relatively heavy scope in a very light 300 Wby McMillan stocked Mod 70 that has never been adjusted for POI in 30 years and once I attempted to tweek it slightly this year was all over the place. I don't know that it will move when re mounted, but if blue locktite betw the rings and scope tube offers a near guarantee - why not?
Normally I don't even consider scopes moving because I only shoot one scoped big game rifle, my 1886 45/70 carbine and my mod 71 both have Lyman peeps that never move. On Varmint rifles there is no significant recoil.

Seems to keep those screws from jarring loose after repeated poundings, but you can still break em lose if need be. I've got two rem 700 and a Savage 111 sitting on the table as we speak that I am accurizing for some friends. Ring screws and base screws both get some. Just a little dab will do ya :chuckle:

I've been rolling over this same question and I finally settled on the Leupold mark 4 with the TS-32X1 reticle. Still on the fence between the 6-20, and the 4-14. Its a hunting rifle so the 14x jumps out at me but they are the same weight so I could have a whole 20x and not get a weight penalty :chuckle: Bullblaster is trying to pressure me into the 20x but I don't know if i'm cool enough for the 20x club :chuckle:

Haha! I read back through that again and must have missed it, but no I don't put lock tite between the scope and rings. Although it could actually work now that I think about it :chuckle:
