Thanks Klem, et al. A greatly appreciate your comments on something I don't have much experience with.
I responded a few days ago but apparently my answer didn't 'take'. Very good points. As it quickly turned out, I got an NSX 5.5-22 x 56 with a MOAR just yesterday. IMPRESSIVE scope! Just scoping to about 350 yards last night before dusk, and clarity is phenomenal. I had shot this same scope on a friend's .308 and hitting steel targets at 750 yards easily. I did need a scope that allowed various distances, as opposed to one or just a few long ranges, and that was one of the reasons I shied away from the BR.
I'll attach it to my 24" Les Baer today for 200-300 yards, and then in a couple weeks, be someplace where I can shoot 750 yards or more.
BTW, in my review, the IOR Valdada was also looking VERY interesting, and had some pretty good reviews. Cost was about 2/3's that of the Nightforce. Decisions, decisions...
Thanks again for everyone's response!
