Thoughts on this scope vs the Nighthawk for a .338 Lapua? Any input is welcome

I'm not informed about theLapua scope but I'm real happy wih the Eliminator scope by Burris.

I feel like it would work great as long as you carefully zero and take into account wind on your long shots. It's not designed for pin point accuracy but within 24 inches at 800 yds on my .308

I have a lupua 338 and I love this scope for that rifle. It is rated at 1200 yards and so far has not let me down. Do the research on where the glass is made for both scopes and that should answer your question, I think

I would say it is pretty close in terms of resolution and chromatic aberration. Maybe just a small difference between it and my Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X50 scopes. It seems to be built as well but you give up an illuminated reticle and zero stop but you are spending only half as much. I got mine from Amazon vendor LG Outdoors for just over $1200. At that price and the overall quality you can't go wrong. It is a little bit more difficult to find 34mm rings for the Bushnell than 30mm rings for the Nightforce.

This is A heavy scope with a less than perfect center go gravity. I am using an alpena plastic with a fairly wide footprint. It's barely enough. It's plastic. it wiggles a lot when you focus or zoom. Do you own this scope now? Are thinking stars or on the ground. I would not recommend ultima 80 for astronomy. Blue shift issues. Works fine on the ground.

I added this to a rifle I sold to Valley gun...a while back, I never used it for night hunts for wild boar. I would not assume that such features existed powerful on this scope. It was a very inexpensive buy, look for a laser application whether selling or giving it as a gift or you use it.

I've had one mounted on a .300 wsm and a .270 win. No problems on either. With the way you're question is worded sounds you may have issues with the mounting system. If so, i strongly advise leupold rings and bases for any scope. But as far as the quality of the dusk & dawn, it's one of my favorites. Seems superior to other banners (imo) and holds its own compared to my nikons. No regrets on my purchase. Gathers light very well when you need it most.

This is the scope I would want on a sig M400 unless you want to spend twice the money on a Night Force. I would also go with the Nikon M-223 XR Mount, and the Nikon Spot-on app make it all a breeze, and major fun on the range.

I had a shooter with a Barrett 338 next to me this weekend and he said he has had no issues with his rig at all. The 50 is a whole 'nuther step up. The bipod is very well made and I have had no issues using it with my 308.

I love mine and use it dedicated to my Ambush 300 Blackout, great scope, great light and great reticle!!!

No, I haven't used the scope at night. I wouldn't recommend any 40mm scope for night hunting. A 50mm would gather more light but even a 50mm is not the right scope for night hunting. You would need a night vision scope for this.

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

Oops I responded, but I did not keep this scope. It was not as clear and bright as the link below.http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1156168462/simmons-whitetail-classic-rifle-scope-65-20x-50mm-adjustable-objective-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding

I have only used my Barska once where we shot over 100 rounds of 223 at 100 yards. There was no problem seeing the bullet holes, this scope for the price is a very good deal. I would recommend....

I sent mine back. I didn't like the scope at all. I would look into Mueller scopes. You can get a 24x or 32 x for a few bucks more. I have these relatively inexpensive scopes on all my asault rifles Remington 700 and .22 rifles. They are great. Look into them, do a little research. Hope I helped you out. If can't get them here try optics planet.

I have the Magpul CTR butt stock and find the SigTac scope to be a good match. I do a lot of shooting, both off hand and sitting. The sight picture is fast and easy to acquire.

I have both .177 and 22 cal love them. However depending on how you plan on using your rifle I suggest 1st. get rid of the crappy scope. I installed a UTG 3X9x40 with illuminated GBR mill dot reticle around $70.00 (Optical Planet). Second replace the trigger with a GTX adjustable $30.00 (Air Guns of Arizona) you will be amazed with the difference. If you have to make a choice go with the trigger. I am thinking about adding a sling as these rifles are heavy which is good.Please let me know how things work out.Semper FiMolon Labe CHS USMCL

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

That was the same question I asked myself. So I bought both. The answer is yes the 3-9 X 40 scope provides a better image at low level light conditions. That is the scope I use on my gun.
