Choices choices... Advise Please - Leupold / Nightforce

[Eric the viking]

Afternoon all

I am tossing between two scopes.
1. Nightforce nxs 5.5-22x56
2. Leupold vx6 7-42x56

It will be mounted on my sako 85 260rem and used for hunting and veldskiet etc.

I seem to think that the vx6 has to much mag that i probably wont use... i currently run a vortex viper pst 6-24x50 on my 243 but m giving it to my dad to use, or is it useful to always have more??
So i need a scope for the 260. Both come in within R1k of each other now.

The Nighforce is solid. Reticle seems thick. Leupold seems clearer with nicer Reticle but lighter than nxs and has capped turrets.

not sure which way to go.
any advise is appreciated.

My persoonlike keuse sou die Leupold wees maar ek sou liewers gekyk het na die 3-18x50 met die CDS turret. Ek gebruik die 3-18 vergroting en dit is meer as genoeg. Met die CDS turret(custom dial system) kan jy jou info van die patroon vir Leupold stuur en dan kry jy 'n turret wat presies vir jou geweer is. Net my keuse.

Thanks TwinHunter

The 3-18 only has the duplex reticle, if im not mistaken. do you use it for long range shooting aswell?? I had kinda written of the duplex as its harder to hold for wind adj. Perhaps im wrong.

Ek het so tydjie terug tot op 800m geskiet en my clarity was great gewees en die vergroting meer as genoeg. Die VX6 kom regtig tot sy volle potensiaal as diw lig bietjie swak is.

Ek het op een van my gewere die Leupold vx6 met cds turret. Dit is n wonderlike teleskoop, maar die probleem met custom turrets is dat jy gebind is tot jou lading. Om n nuwe turret vir n nuwe lading by Leupold te kry is n hele ruk se wag. Daarom verkies ek eerder n tactical tipe teleskoop. Die nightforce sal dus hier my keuse wees.

NF....persoonlike keuse.

[Morne Van Der Merwe]

Nightforce sou my keuse ook gewees het.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.

one last thing. Would you go MOAR ret or the MOAR-T ret.

The T seems to be the thinner one. otherwise they seem the same.

Verseker die NF NXS 5.5-22x56. Ek het van die scopes op 3 van my teiken skiet gewere en sal hulle nie gou vervang nie. Seker hulle sal mooi werk vir jag ook.

Dit bied baie elevasie adjustment maar ek het myne op 20 MOA picatinys gemount en dit gee my so ekstra paar honderd meter. Dit kom veral handig te pas as ek swaar punte skiet.

Sterkte met jou besluit!

Ek het MOAR en MOART.
Sal nie die T vir aandskiet aanbeveel nie. Maar baie lekker om hom op baan asook langafstand te gebruik.
Vir jagverkies ek MOAR.....tel hom lekker vinnig op.
If you prefer the normal MOAR and you dont require open turrets.....then I would prefer SHV. Only 5-20......at +- R10,000 cheaper.
