8-32x seems like alot of scope...

will this be a specialized rig? what cartridge/setup? long range, what ranges planned?
target/bench? I'll assume you have your power setting figured out.

No sightron experience....Nikon's always treated me well though. Quality scope/price. Better out there though....but you pay for it...

well mostly for varmits but also for sitting on the range having fun plinking. it is a remington 700 sps varmit in 243 trigger work done down to about 14 oz. i will also be using it to shoot long range 500 +, that is the reason for the 8-32. i know that they are both good quality optics and within $30 price of each other.

The 56 mm will sit high on your rifle, do you need that big of a lens?

i dont need a big objective lense but the two i liked both have them. but i went with one of those bushnells that were made for browning in 8-32x42 i think that is is a mirror of the elite 4200 but not for sure
