Also I have to look at the Bushy HMDR you mentioned as well. I'm about to start practicing on Pdogs well beyond 300 in the Kansas / colorado winds so good tracking is pretty much a must. The entire game here is to get ready for longer shots on speed goats.

The new nightforce competitions are pretty nice - yet even more pricey.

Thanks

That is indeed a SWFA 3-9x. All things considered it's the best hunting scope going IME....

No, it's just that the weight comes from the tube thickness which supports and protects the beefed up erector system. It's not just the springs and screws. The the whole scope bends and flexes during recoil. Everything being beefed up makes sure it stays consistent during that.

The SWFA 3-9x42mm weighs 19 onces.
