Rifle scope choices??
Crunchy:
Building a new rifle, have action, trigger, stock on order, and barrel being built soon. I have always been a Leupold guy and have never had any issues with their rifle scopes. Binos yes. Anyway, I like the custom dial with Leupold products. So it is nice to range a target and dial in the yardage on the scope in yards. Neither Zeiss or Nightforce offer that option (must be a reason). Clarity, durability, and weight are my main concerns. It is a hunting rig, and a bit of long range shooting. Input?

Ill throw the first vote. I'm partial to the luepold VX6 but ill throw in the disclaimer that i don't have much experience.with the others. I know nightforce has a good reputation.
As for the custom dial, they are useful but alot of factors are not considered when you turn that dial for the load you have picked out. Primarily temp, elevation and pressure differences.
Hope my info helps
jjhunter:
You can get custom dials for Zeiss and NF. A few companies that make custom turrets. I’ve used Kenton several times.
Now that I have a ballistic calculator in my binoculars, I don’t need yardage turrets.

I have the VX6HD and has been reliable but if I could swap for an NX8 I would. I don’t think that model was out when I was looking for a scope a few years ago.
jrebel:
NX8 all the way. I love all my nightforce scopes but the NX8 is the best.
