Thanks Guys


Not much comment on the Leupold scopes, are they not as good as they used to be?

I have no weight problem, apart from the weight around my stomach region and I have one Nightforce scope already that I have been happy with but always thought that 2lb for a scope was a bit much for a 12 or 13 lb rifle. If you had an options of were the weight in a rifle was to go, then you would say in the stock or right behind the action and not sitting up on top.

The Nightforce sounds like it might be the way to go, would be fine to go over to a centrefire rifle later on if I wanted as well.
I shoot the Rimfire Fly every month and only occasionally in summer does the mirage get bad enough that you have to weight for a condition change or alternatively screw the power back on the Nightforce.

Thanks
