I have a matched pair of R93 Blasers and a number of barrels. So far I only have scopes for the .270 and .416. I need help finding scopes to fit the two sets of requirements I have for the other calibers:
Scope for .30-06, .338 Win Mag, .375 H&H Required High Magnification at least 7x Min FOV on Low Magnification 60’ @ 100yds Min Exit Pupil on High Magnification at least 4.5 mm @ 7x (5 mm preferred) Reticle Illuminated heavy duplex or #4 Eye relief 3.5” min (3.75” preferred) Desired (not required) Ballistic Turret or similar range adjustment Rail Mount Scope for 9.3x62 Required High Magnification at least 6x Min FOV on Low Magnification 60’ @ 100yds Min Exit Pupil on High Magnification at least 4.5 mm @ 6x (5 mm preferred) Reticle Illuminated heavy duplex or #4 Eye relief 3.5” min (3.75” preferred) Desired Rail Mount |

You pretty much gotta have 1x or close to it on the bottom end to get your required FOV. But when they have 1x I don't know of any that have a big enough objective to give you the desired exit pupil at 6x.
Tall order for sure. http://swfa.com/Swarovski-1-6x24-Z6-Swarovski-Rail-30mm-Riflescope-P7590.aspx http://swfa.com/Zeiss-15-6x42-Victory-Varipoint-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P42633.aspx Edited by supertool73 - August/06/2010 at 13:20 |

I know the Swarovski Z6i 1.7-10x42 will meet it. That's what's on the .270 barrel. The Zeiss 1.5-6x42 that supertool73 mentioned (and I didn't know about) meet the criteria and is at least a little less $$$ than the Swaro.
Did the Kahles Helia CL 2-7x36 have this kind of FOV on 2x and is it still available with an illuminated reticle?
Are there any scopes that will do this that aren't north of $2K? I'll go there if I have to - already have once. But if I could find something that would come pretty close for less than $2K, that would be better.

The S&B 1.5-6X42 is an excellent scope, so is the 2.5-10x40 summit. Used both and each have great field of view and excellent eye relief for the larger calibers.
