Looking for a long range scope

[DownWindPredatorControl]

Looking for suggestions on a Nightforce Scopes for use out to 600+ Yards.
It will go on my Savage .243 58grain Hornady Superformance VMax.

Or would you use a heavier grain bullet at longer distances and will a heavier bullet be somewhat fur friendlier that a smaller grain?

Main use -
Predator control in Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado

Please send me some recommendations on which Nightforce scope and why.

Thank you!

Gotta tell folks the use case or you'll just get their personal favorite or, more likely, ignored.

Guessing Varmint/Predator. For your requirement there are soooo many great options. Don't even know where to start. Nightforce is a helluva place to start tho.

 

[DownWindPredatorControl]

Coyotes mostly.

Looking at the NXS 5.5x22x50.

NF 8-32 x 56 benchrest. On my gun 22-250, 80g VLD with a 200 yd zero, sighting on the 4 th line down hits the coyote 4” low.



Target @ 600 yds

If any calling is involved, I'd go with the 3.5-15x50, which will still get you to well past 600 comfortably.
General shooting and sniping, I'd probably lean to the 5.5-22x50.
If you have an 8" twist, I'd shoot the Berger 105 Hunting VLD's.

Me too but I'm poor !!!

If it's a factory barrel, it's a 9.125 twist only allowing the 95 vlds. Still great long range coyote medicine.

No flies on the 95 Bergers either. I've shot quite a few coyotes out of a 6 Dasher with excellent results.

Wait till someone puts up a clean used 8 x 32 BR model w that NP-R2 reticle.They are very heavy [base, rings,& scope about 50 ozs] but solid reliable & easy to hunt with out to any modest range say 600 meters ? I've been using those & the 12 x 42 same reticle since '05. I love looking thru that scope. I won't brag here but I've made some incredible long range hits on ground hogs w my 243 & 87/88 grain bullets. mike in Ct

Really ? Can't get 105s to shoot but mine shoots the 95s flawlessly out to 600 anyway.

Take a long look at the Sightron 10-50. They pop up on this site from time to time for $6-750. They don’t have the “swagger” of a Nightforce but they are great scopes. I own 5 of them, if that says anything.

 

[hogpatrol]

Trijicon Accupower 4-16x50 MOA crosshair with red or green LED.

https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=RS29-C-1900020

Optics Planet has them for $710, $15 off if you have a coupon.

Edit: Cheaper on ebay.

 

[Liven The Dream]

Sightron or Vortex . Save you Money for a new Barrel …….

 

[284winner]

What they all said ^^^

 

[10XSHOOTER]

NXS 5.5-22X50 is a heavy scope. but you will never break it. the SHV 5-20 for Yotes is a great Scope MOAR Ret in either.
Zero at 200 and learn the hash marks
