Need some input on these scopes.

[bobcat_trapper]

I am looking at 3 different scopes. I wanting it to go on my 280ai rifle. Looking at
Trijicon tenmile 4x24x50mm
Zeiss v4 4x16x44mm
Nightforce shv 5x20x56mm
Will use it for hunting. And shooting steel out to 500 to 600 yds. I want a exposed elevation turret. And a capped windage turret. Does all 3 have zero stop? And a locking turret?

 

[Schaaf]

All 3 have a zero stop but none of them have a locking turret. Not needed, IMO.

Does Leupold have it on the VX 5? I was going to go with a Leupold VX5 3x15x44mm. But read alot of people having issues with them.

Either the Trijicon or Nightforce pick one of those two and U wont be disappointed

why 4-24 over a 3-18 tenmile?

 

[Cogreeny]

I have the nightforce. It is heavy. Very nice though. The rifle it’s on weighs 32 pounds without it though so that’s not an issue.

The 3x18 is a FFP. 4x20 is a SFP.

i prefer the Bisman L26 nightspotter attached to a lazer. without it I feel that every night lizard with a zippo can burn my location. Its not stable with the 15-223 positioning pintle. That can always come later, although my bubblescope could be back-up. like they say, Its all demolition. Watch your stringlines, angle your charges.

The 3x18 is a FFP. 4x20 is a SFP.

Then my vote is a trijicon credo 2.5-15 if you're looking for SFP.

 

[bobcat_trapper]

I looked at the 2.5-15. Never used that type of crosshair. I have the one in the 4x20 model.

 

[bobcat_trapper]

What about a Leica amplus 6 3x18x44mm?

 

[std7mag]

I got the Ziess V4 you mentioned.

The zero stop was a bit of a PITA to set.
But once set, has worked well.
Glass is good, as you'd expect from Ziess.

I got the 93(?) MOA reticle.
Euro Optics had it on sale when I got mine. $699.

Used nxs - id suggest. Superior internals to shv
