    OK... Here's the hard part... Does he want pinhole accuracy right out of the box? Or just something that he can shoot a deer with every year?

    Nightforce are frickin beefy scopes. Truly professional grade.

    heres why I won't get one right now:

    1) Secon Focal Plane

    2) capped turrets

    3) $1600 for the one that I want.

    Dad named 750+ yards. He used to buck railroad ties, so 7.6 pounds won't be too tough for him, I imagine.

    He wants it for home defense first, hunting second.
