Mid-long range hunting scope

[7MAG]

Ordered a zeiss v4 conquest 4-16x44, was disappointed with the turret design and all the plastic so I returned it. Was considering the leupold vx5hd 3-15x44 but heard a bunch of bad reviews about poor tracking and return to zero. This made me dive into the rabbit hole and question if I should get a leupold mark 5 hd 3.6-18x44 or nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50. If I have to spend the extra $500 I will but I’d like real world experience or recommendations. This is a rifle out to 8-900yds, being able to have a custom dial is kind of a deal breaker whether I can get it from factory or a 3rd party. I want something I can dial elevation to the yardage and hold for elevation

The leupold mark 5 will work for you.

The NF 2.5-20 worked very well on my KY elk and in Namibia. If you are veteran discounts available on both Leupold and NF.

I wasn’t sure the reliability returning to zero. Can leupold cut a ballistic dial for it?
