Fits my parameters, min of a 40' FOV on the bottom end. Anything else is up to you. As far as traveling again what works for you. I hunt up to five states a year, last year killed coyotes in three and will more than likely do the same this year. My rifles travel hard, the last three years mostly strapped across the back of my MC, only one failed scope in 50 yrs and that was a used Leupold VariX-II on a lightweight 35 Whelen many years ago, Leupold fixed it and it is on a combo gun now.
I could never justify the cost of a NF as many of the features are worthless to me. That looks like a nice rig.
Where in WI are you, I used to hunt fox, squirrels and grouse in the coolie country south of La Crosse back in the 1960's.
