I have a Model 70 Featherweight 300 wsm with a Leupold VX-1 3-9. With my aging eyes I'm having trouble focusing the scope. I recently put a Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 on another rifle and really noticed the difference in clarity over my VX-1. I like the Vortex but it is a little bigger than what I want on the Featherweight. I'm thinking about a Leupold VX-3i 3.5-10x40 or an on sale VX-6 2-12x42 or maybe a Zeiss Conquest HD5 2-10x42 on sale right now at Cabela's.
I like the price on the VX-3i, but how is the clarity compared to the VX-6 and/or Zeiss? I have looked through scopes at Cabela's before but it is not quite the same as a hunting situation IMHO.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your input.
