I'll bet that big@ss scope and turrets come in uber-handy in that tamarack swamp you're always crowing about. "Bigger bucks" need bigger scopes Scott - sheesh, I thought everyone knew that. It's also important to have a scope you can trust you life to.

Well gee...that we are only 50% out of the box on the vaunted Accupoints; and, that Trijicon admitted the one was FUBAR (unlike Leupold) - then repaired it... all in the same number of days it took Leupold to even acknowledge we sent them a broken 3.5-10x40 the exact same day... You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

F.U. ! It doesn't make me feel better at all - I just have a low threshold for bullszchit, and you're always dishing it. Oh, and I like Nightforce scopes too but the OP CLEARLY stated it wasn't in the cards. WWP53D

The 2.5-10 has 4.4 inches of eye relief, made in S Korea, very good glass. 30mm tube. There's always hope as long as there's lead in the air.

Scopes that are on deer rifles used primarily in the the woods include Burris FourX 1.5-6x, Kahles AH 3-9x, Swarovski 3-10x, and a Leupold VX-II 2-7x33. None of these have ever failed or required readjustment after zeroing with the load du jour. just my two cents. Life Member NRA, RMEF, American Legion, MAGA. Not necessarily in that order.

For stand or heater hunting a cz550 30-06 with a luepold HOG 1x4. Both have proven to be of good quality and up to task for a couple of seasons. Time will tell.
