Pairing Optics with Rifle

I keep meaning to post the link but I can't find the time. Precision Rifle Blog did an excellent write up on precision high end scopes and which preform the best through a battery of tests. It's very enlightening and can make the decision to go with X brand over Y brand a little less easier with less guess work.

Just the weight of a NF would rule it out for me. 2 lbs is a lot.

This was a common comment made on the tread about NF/Luepold .But some said the quality and durability was worth the extra weight.
And I will be scouring the other forums with long range shooting in mind for more comparisons.

Someone mentioned it before, "buy once, cry once." Also don't skimp on the mounts or rings. Again, buy once, cry once.

I was in the same boat as you, for the exact same reason. I went with the Viper Vortex. I opted for the 6-24x50 for my old eye's too.

Burris, US Optics, Night Force (to name a few) were out of my budget and I thought too much for the 7mm.....

Good luck!
