Might be worth heeding EHG's advice.

Nightforce would seem to fit your described goals.

They can be picked up used for a nice price with a bit of patient waiting and watching.

I've not used the SHV other than zeroing a rifle for someone at a range. The turrets were not as crisp as the NXS, but it seemed like a nice scope and I do not remember any issue with eye relief.

The NF NXS 2.5-10x42 has worked nicely for me on a 300 Win Mag, which does not have a brake on it. It is light enough to be comfortable, while in the Colorado mountains last fall. Turrets may be had capped or uncapped. Having used both, I much prefer uncapped.



The 5.5-22x56 works nicely when more magnification is preferred and have used it up to 338 LM's and never been bitten by either.
