I have been looking around for a better scope for my AR10. I use the AR10 for deer hunting and target shooting. Farthest I have shot so far is 500 yards with it, last deer I killed was almost 330 yards away (had rangefinder with me). Where I hunt at I could shoot a lot further than that but normally do not do so...last day of season or I would not of taken the shot then. Local shoots sometimes open the 600 yard range and they might be takeing it farther out. So I know I am going to spend some money on good optics and have looked at these 2 scopes. US Optics - SN3 - 3.8-22x44 and the Nightforce 8-32x56 Benchrest or NXS Leaning towards the Nightforce as I figure 56mm should be better in low light situations. Does anyone have these scopes and can advise on which one would be better. I getting old and my eyes just are not what they used to be I was even tossing around the Nightforce 12-42x56. I currently have a Springfield Armory 4-14x56 and love the ranging reticle calibrated for 7.62 match ammo, but I have had to send it in 2 different times for repair and looking for something more reliable. One downside is that I wish I had more magnification for longer ranges. My friend put a tasco 10-40 x 50mm on his 300 mag rifle. I like it but cheap glass and super fine cross hairs make it hard to actually use. |
