Here's a good list for you Bob: http://www.riflebarrels.com/products/nightforce_scopes.htmYou can probably shop around a bit and beat those, but not by too much as they're pretty strict with their minimum pricing rules. But that should give you an idea. If interested in a scope like the NF 2.5-10, you may consider the new SS 3-9X40 FFP as a lower cost alternative. It's a pretty amazing value.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Jon:That 2.5-10x32 NF with the new Velocity Reticle is just making a ton of sense to me.......forgive my ignorance on the matter... ![smile smile](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) According to the website info, the reticle gets you to 600,and I'd get the enclosed turrets(they aren't gonna spin by accident);and if I ever wanted to go beyond 600(highly unlikely)the turrets are avaiable. I don't know much about these things but it seems their turrets are held in high regard for reliability,repeatability, etc.It's a 19 oz scope, but not big at 12",so won't overwhelm a rifle. Yeah, it's $1500 bucks....but this is like buying bino's......am I making any sense here?

Perfect sense and I agree--it's a very nice scope. I do really like that new reticle of theirs for that type of use as well.
It's just a lot of money. If you aren't planning on spinning the turrets much you won't be utilizing much of what you're paying for--and that's fine too, of course. They'll be there if you need them.

Cool scope. I want one! I should update this thread. I bought the Zeiss 6.5-20, and it's been really, really great for me so far. This is a test I shot at a lasered 100 yards, 4 MOA increments, dialing up and down. I've shot perhaps 200 rounds of 300 win mag, maybe 250, with it on the rifle (Sendero) and so far, so good. Tracking during ACTUAL long range shooting has been about like you'd expect, from the pic below- excellent out to 850 yards. Optics- excellent. One thing I did run into was that I ran out of windage zero'ing it; I don't know why. I did a kludge fix with a Burris 10 MOA insert and will track down the problem this winter, when hunting season isn't looming large. Anyway: ![[Linked Image]](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r111/handwired/photo-43.jpg) Here it is mounted on the rifle, with my scope level thingie "deployed"... ![smile smile](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) You can maybe see some of my white plates on the hillside opposite. ![[Linked Image]](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r111/handwired/photo-48.jpg)
The CENTER will hold.

Ugh, not the best pic of the scope. Here's a better one, prior to getting my scope level on there... ![[Linked Image]](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r111/handwired/photo-41.jpg)

![[Linked Image]](http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s156/gpm333/001-9.jpg) Looks great. I have one on my Remington/Hart .300 win mag. I really like it. I went with 20 moa bases.
