First of all I'm a Noobie on the site and with rifles and hunting.
I just purchased my first rifle, LH Sako 85 hunter .300 Winmag. I'm now looking to buy a scope for it.
I'm partial to the Nightforce 5.5x22x56 NXS 1000 Velocity. I see there are lots that like them, but also there are many that say they are to big, weigh to much, you won't be able to use it at 100 yards, its not a hunting rifle, it will make your rifle top heavy.
They are pretty expensive, so I want to make sure its the right scope for my application. I will be at the range lots with my son, as he is the one that convinced me to get started, now its like a passion for me and I haven't even shot it yet. I will also be hunting elk, and moose.
Any thoughts out there?
