Need Your Help

[Richracer1]

I've found where I can get a Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x-42 (duplex) for $532, a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40 LR (duplex) for $502, or a VX-III 4.5-14x40 (duplex) for $446.

I really like the 4.4" of eye relief of the VX-IIIs vs the 3.9" of 6500, but I also like the 2.5 low mag of the 6500 vs the 4.5 low mag of the VX-IIIs

What are your guy's suggestions?

I'm putting this scope on a 338RUM.

VX-III got my vote.

 

[Richracer1]

VX-III got my vote.

Thanks, but which VX-III are you voting for?

Richracer1,

I would go with the 4.5-14x40 LR with side focus.

+1 for the VX-III 4.5-14x40 LR.

 

[JDMAG]

the $446.00 VXIII. What are you giving up between 2.5 and 4.5? is it worth what you don't like about the 6500?

 

[Richracer1]

Thanks for the replies.

I decided to go with the VX-III 4.5-14X40 LR, duplex reticle.

I would also go with the VX-III LR.
Side focus is very nice. :grin:
