I just bought a Forbes 270 and am considering this scope. Just wanting opinions about it's reticles tracking and durability. Right now I'm considering getting the BT with 4W reticle. I would dial elevation and use reticle for windage.

My main concern is the visibility of the reticle at dark in timber as this may be use for both long and medium range. long range for me is 400- 500 yards.

Is there a better choice that will do 200-500 yards just as well or better that doesn't weigh 20 ounces or more?


Don't have the gun in hand yet,so no idea actual weight.The listed weight is 5.5 lbs. Should I splurge and get the NF 2-10X42 NXS and say to heck with the weight? I should still be very close to 7 lbs shouldn't I? If NF ,which ill reticle?
