6BR scope

[rednek]

I just finished my 6br and right now am using a burris fullfield2 4.5-14 scope and am planning an upgrade. Just looking for input on what ya'll have and what to avoid. The scope will be mostly for punching paper and 'doggin up to 600-700 yds. I haven't decided on what reticle to use and would like to keep the price under $800. Prefer side focus and 1/8" MOA adjustment. Ok guys let me have it!

rednek, If you could swing a few more green stamps, that NF NXS is bad to the bone. Some prefer the BR over the NXS because of 1/8 min clicks for finer adjustment at the longer ranges, but I just like the NXS better, personally. Don't know which reticle you are thinking about but that DD in the NF is really clean and if you zero at @ 200 yds. with the 105 gr. range of bullets or a little lighter the lower dot will be right on for you at 500 and 600 hundred yds. with very little tweaking. Bear in mind, I do not compete in any matches. I just shoot alot. My second choice would be a MK IV Leupold 8.5 X 25 X 50 but, that is still about $400.00 more than you were looking at spending. Hope this helps. Bill

Well, so far ya'll have given me the same scopes I have been looking at with the exception of the new Busnell. I had been leaning toward the VX III, but I did like the Zeiss 6-20 I Looked at, anyone got one? I would really like to jump into the nightforce range, but I built a 220 swift on a mauser action since I finished the BR, plus I need to get a LV/HV legal stock for the BR so the NF will have to wait,

Brunos has a Weaver 36x for about $380.00. Sightron is a good deal at Midway or Natchez, in a 6 x 24 x 42 & a lifetime warranty. Depends on how much you want to invest.
