This is my dilemma. I have a Vortex viper pst gen ii 6x24x50 and a swfa 3 - 15x42. Now I have a 28 nosler and finishing up my 22 creedmoor. Both are Sendero types but the 28 Nosler has a proof research 26 inch carbon fiber barrel so it relatively lightweight for its Contour. Which scope would you put on which rifle

Due to recoil tolerance alone, (Not your's, but the scope's) and potential target size at range, I'd put the 6-24 Viper PST on the 22 Creedmoor and the SWFA 3-15 on the 28 Nosler. IMHO and YMMV......

I guess that would be the logical thing to do. 15 power for Antelope deer and Elk should be plenty up to a thousand yards no?? Not that I foresee myself shooting that far but hypothetically
