Dial the power down half way and the R2 hold over is 4 MOA not 1MOA per hash mark.

And by minority I mean maybe 1/2 of 1% of the hunters out there want to carry that type of rifle around in the mountains. Probably much less than 1/2 of 1%.
I have no idea how many hunters I have seen in my life above 5,000 feet in elevation. And I don't think I have ever seen a hunter carrying a 15# rifle in the mountains. Personally the heaviest rifle I have ever seen in the mountains is a Sharp's rifle that I was hunting with. With open sights. Heaven forbid if you had to shoot with open sights. Good lord how would you adjust them??
It doesn't matter to me if you beat your chest like King Kong when you carry that 15# rifle up the mountain. Calling a person who wants to carry an appropriate weight rifle "fat and lazy" is uncalled for.
I also do agree that it takes good glass to see. And I also believe in your theory about a $2,000 scope and a $200 rifle. I also agree with that.
But that does not make the NF a better choice for hunting. Sure NF has good glass. But it is not Swaro. glass!! NF is known for its durability, but they do not have the ultimate high grade glass.
A 3X10 Swaro., even with the ballistic turret would be a much better choice for what the OP asked about. And that Swaro. glass would be of better optical quality than your three times as heavy NF.
And who sights a rifle in dead on at 100 yards for hunting?? Nobody. Normally everybody sights there rifle in one to 3 inches high for fairly flat trajectory to 300 yards. Which is 100 yards past the OP's 200 yard range. I do it all the time. And that is with a slower 223.
And exposed turrets for most mountain hunters is definitely not a good choice. Tom.
I usually don't try counting them, I have tried but as the coyote moves about I loose count. What I do is actually aim at a flea and end up accidentally hitting the coyoteJRS said:One more worth your consideration Dan, would be a Sightron. You'll find an unbiased test review conducted by Jason Baney in the bulletin section. They compare quite favorably to Nightforce at half the price, and less weight. Unless you are contemplating counting the number of fleas on a coyote or fox, you really don't need optics with benchrest magnification.
