Appreciate all the answers guys... I did do a typo on my initial post saying I was looking at 4x16 and 6x32 but it should have been 6x24.... for my elk gun, I would really only want to stepup to a 4x16.....
I have been using cheap 100 dollar scopes for years but just wanted one really nice piece of glass to switch from my rifles while I hunt throughout the year... It sounds like I can use a QD setup to do this... I have always hunted using a 3x9 Nikon Buckmaster on my .30-06 when chasing elk and have never had any problems but would like to do more long range target shooting out to about 600-700 yards... I currently am a member of a nice range with both 0-560yd and 0-1000yd ranges so the desire to use both is what I'm getting at...
I can afford to buy good glass for all my guns, but really have a hard time dropping the cash... That's why I'd like my hunting rigs to "share" some glass until I eventually drop the cash down on a two of them...
So I probably want 4x16 and ffp if possible with mil-mil matching reticle and target turrets... Any and all suggestions around $1000 would be appreciated...
