Best Scope for 6.5 CM

[brockel]

Well then. Suddenly I'm happier I went with the vortex for my new rig.

You can get more than 1 rotation if you move to target knobs, correct (on the Leupold)?

I’ve never had the target knobs so not sure on that. The M1 use to have reference marks under the turret so you could go multiple revolutions and still be able to get back to your zero.

I have a 6.5 CM I want to shoot longer range with it say 800-900 yds. But be able to hand to a kid and have them use it just fine at shorter ranges. Here is my thoughts and the parameters I have in my head:

1. max min to be 5x
2. at least 16x min max?
3. Not a "busy" scope reticle wise because a kid could get confused. I have a Burris eliminator on one 6.5 and the kids have trouble with how busy it is and focusing on the crosshairs
4. Turret for yardage with zero stop
5. about $600-$700 max

the new nightforce NX6 would be a great scope and they are on the more affordable side of the house
