Looking for something with some serious elevation ... going to put this on a 2000 plus yard rig. Pretty much narrowed it down to a Nightforce NXS or a Sightron SIII. Haven't really found anything else that offers 100 MOA or more of elevation. Looking for Mil based setup and SFP. Would prefer an AO rather than side focus. Even If I zero at 600 yards to get to 2500 ill need 103 MOA. With a 40 MOA base a scope with 100 MOA might still not get it. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

These are both side focus, but meet your criteria for internal adj.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Good call on the ST22 ... mounting options for that one are also a lot easier. Mounting the SN9 might cause problems as the 338 platform would need some serious work, the 50 wouldn't though.
The fixed 20x Sightron is also on my radar, 150 moa of travel, fixed scopes take a beating the recoil these big bores will be putting out. Haven't had a chance to look through a Vortex Razor or PST to check out the reticle but have decided to stay away from side focus ... I had a SS 5-20 and sold it, nice scope but I have become pretty much stuck on AO scopes... Thanks for the suggestions, the fixed powers are growing on me, my fixed SS 10x HD is one of my favorite scopes. Keep the ideas coming

So I got to look through a Sightron 6-24 the other day and the mildot reticle is HUGE ... Im used to the 10x mildots and was really amazed how big it was. That really turned me off to Sightron. Are the MOA reticles they have that "large"? It wasn't that the reticle was to heavy or thick but the dots had to be like 6 MOA at least. Looking for feedback on the MOA models if anyone has one. With a reticle that big might as well use my SN3 3.8-22 ....

The second focal plane high power scopes all look like someone super sized the reticle because the dots are one mil apart at the max power of the scope.
