Magnafication, tube size, AO, etc.........Matters not if the adjustments are not up ti the task. Easily the most dependable, repeatable scope on the market is the NightForce. Has I believe 120min of total adjustment. I know of a 338 Lapua with a custom 45moa base, with the scope bottomed it has enough adjustment to zero at 2100yds. A scope with 60min and a 20 or 25moa base with 2750fps and a BC of .400 or so will do just fine to 1000yds.
The Zeiss 6.5-20 is excellent as well but has only 65 minutes of total adjustment, where as there 4.5-14x50 has 100min.
Nightfore seems to be the general conclusion--I actually pulled some info off of the net, plus I have one of their catalogs sitting beside me..on the 5.5-22 it states there is 100 MOA adjustment..the highest I saw was 115moa adjustment and that was on the 3.5-15 models...have been planning on getting, bases on what I have read and by talking to different shooters, shops, etc is the 5.5-22x56..think that would/should be what the doctor ordered...
Have also looked at the Ziess, one of the shops I frequent has one with a really good price on it but wrong crosshair ..figured by the time I screwed with that..might as well by the one I want..
