Anyone else building a 2-12

[alta780]

I have searched everywhere I can think of, and am only finding Swarovski, and Burris in the 2-12 range. Does anyone else know of any in this specific range?

any reason why?

I like the idea of having a FOV which is much higher than 30-34ft@100yds, and I also like the idea of being able to bring in the target better than a 9 or 10 which I now have.
I also know that getting the big zoom has it's compromisies, such has holding steady while hunting. The 2-12 range just seems to have the abilities of a great short range FOV, and a very decent high end, for those who don't hunt at a 1000 yds, which is 99,9% of us.

Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x44 has a nice zoom to it

I looked at the 2.5-16 Bushnell I want a bit less on the top end, as I want the ballistics reticle. I also was interested in a lit reticle, I find it pleasing to my older eyes.

Vortex has a 2.5-10 riflescope in both the Crossfire and the Viper HS line.

The wider the variable range, (multiplier) the more optical compromises they have to make, and it is also much harder to keep the internal elements properly aligned.
