This is what top quality looks like - NightForce NXS 5.5-22x50 Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I started long range target shooting a few years ago and when I started out I decided to get reasonably inexpensive glass and go with an out of the box remington 700.

Once I was pretty confident out to 600 yards with an entry level scope it was time for some upgrades but good glass was out of my price range. I waited for a year or so and was finally able to make the jump to the Nightforce (in addition to upgrading most of the parts on the 700 as well). Took it out to the range and sighted it in with three shots. After about twenty warm up shots I was able to shoot a .51" group bench rest/bipod with sandbag at 100 yards.

It was really nice to not need a spotting scope and to be able to see the target crystal clear. The eye relief is really good for this level of zoom which is great because the 308 kicks "a little".

I tracked the turrets to the bottom left of the target, upper right and straight back to zero. Then I set the zero stop and tracked to the top left, top right and right back to zero. Amazing and really nice to know that if I ever get out and have to move things I can get right back to zero in a jiffy.
