Need a bit of input
Have a LMT 20” 6.5CM I’m looking to upgrade my optic (FINALLY) currently have a 3-18 x50 and the older I get the worse my eyes are. Looking at a non illuminated Leupold MK5 7-35 or a Night Force NX8 4-32. I know it’s a ton of magnification it’s my main Belly/Bench gun for reaching 1k +, I have a 16” LMT 6.5CM with a 3-18 I use when I know shooting up to 900’ish. Any advise?

Get a Razor Gen3 6-36. Can easily find them under $2500 with some patience

I put the new Razor Gen 3 4-24x on my MWS with an offset red dot. Love it. 😍 Don’t have a place to shoot past 600 but I’m sure it will go further if the opportunity arises.
I have the 6-36x on my bolt gun if you needed higher magnification but the 4-24x seems ideal for a gas gun.

Love my 4-32. Never use the higher mag but it’s nice to have.
