Rifle Dude, as far as thanking me for my service, once I was in, I always felt like I should have done more. I never saw combat...probably good for all of us given my m.o.... Ilya, you really threw a wrench in my plans - in a good way! So, Leica offers parallax control in 42 obj with 10x mag but not 50 with 12x mag...odd. As far as Kahles, they have two versions (that I can find) that are lit - the Kxi and the K624i. The Kxi is only 10x and I'm not sure why the are so much cheaper (what I'm giving up) vs their other scopes. They are also 1"which would limit travel. The K624i is $1k more and 56mm...I really don't want to go over 50mm. Well...back to the drawing board. Any recommendations for following requirements: - alpha glass - illum reticle - 10x min mag (preferably more) - parallax adjustment - 50mm max obj - $2,500 limit From my homework, looks like the S&B Classic, Zeiss Victory, or compromise on the size of the ATACR. By the way, is the ATACR in the same class as the big dogs, glass wise? |
Leica 2.5-10x42 and 3-12x50 do not offer parallax compensation. Leica 3.5-14x42 does offer parallax control.
I do not know if the ATACR is in the same league as the top end German scopes. I have never tested the ATACR. From a brief look I had it seemed like an improvement on the NXS, so it is a step in the right direction for Nightforce.
Ultimately, what you are looking for is the Premier Light Tactical 3-15x50. Keep an eye out for one. Tangent Theta has committed to honoring the Premier labeled scope warranty, so continued support should not be a concern.
