Wanting something in the 6.5-20x(??)mm
IOR and Nightforce are pretty much topping my list as far as price for optic, but I still haven't completely kicked the S&B off the list. Does anyone use any of these three optics? I know for the price I could probably get two Leupold Mk IV optics, but I have the cash and would seriously love to have some 'super' glass sitting on my Armalite AR-30M (.338LM). Being able to clearly see what the target is at ranges up to(and beyond) one mile, is what I'm after.
I've already kicked the US Optics stuff off the list due to the price, and rings(only made by them for the size scope they offer)...rings are outrageous in price for a price of steel and some CNC work! But their glass is outstanding?
Comments, suggestions, or whatever?

Finally made the big plunge!
The winner is a NightForce 12-42x56mm.... Should be here by Friday at the latest! I'll get her mounted on the Armalite AR-30M and put her through some paces. Should have some influence on those 700+ yard shots, being this scope starts at what the Redfield ends at... And the glass that Redfield uses, wouldn't get through the door at the NightForce plant. So 'pumped'!
Be ready to see some pictures!

The optic has been shipped and now it's sitting at that Post Office, which really sucks because I have to be at work before the place opens and I don't get off until after the place is closed! I'm going to urinate all over myself!!!
Guess I'll be standing at the door on Saturday?

Just thought I'd share somepictures with the new optic on top of the .338LM! It's just too freakin' great!
Scott (sharing is fun) B
