CDS is junk and you are pissing up a rope there.
Scope recommendation?
I bleed Leupold,but disfavor the 2.5-8x everywhere,doubly so on a long action. The CDS is the [bleep] Cough Silencer of turrets.
I've no qualm with a 6x42 taking me to 1000yds and beyond,do it often. If forced to slum a variable,it gets no better than the 3.5-10x 40mm 1" on a Killing Rifle and make mine non-A/O. Pass the M1 ele,leave windage go and get outta my way,because schit is going on.
As to the 25,27 and 28 being "equals"...I couldn't begin to shift my brain into a gear low enough to deduce same,nor could anyone else I know who guns 'em all. While case capacity do border on equal,boolits do not and therein lies the disparaging differences. NOTHING equals the 7mm's pile driving ass or ability to slip atmospheric and that's what bears the fruit. And don't think I don't love quarterbores...but they simply cain't hang.
'Tis a simplistic FACT,that not all things is equal.
