The suggestions to "slow down" and to start with a "starter" scope are good and makes sense. But, if I buy a well recognized high quality scope and end up not liking it, I can resell it for an acceptable loss in light of gaining some good experience. Obviously, that is just a personal preference issue.
Based on the input from this thread and doing some more research, I am now leaning towards a Zeiss V6 3-18x50 with the ZMOA-2 reticle. And, this would go on a Montana Rilfe Co X3 in 26 Nosler. The V6 exceeds my original budget, but I found a good deal on a new one, which is always attractive.
Since the V6 3-18x50 does look good to me for my application, what other scopes are comparable in performance, features, and price, and warrant me taking a hard look at before committing to the Zeiss?
