Leupold scopes are still a good value especially the VX2 3-9X40. 3200 series Bushnell's aren't horrible either as long as you don't twist the turrets a lot. Not everyone is a turret twister nor do they have to be to shoot well and be successful. [/quote]

This^^^^^^^^. + if you think that tasco has surpassed Leupold and is now the front runner in the optics world. You have been fooled by a fool. Jesus he (stick) is right about the do nothingcunts to bad he hates his biggest fans.

Looks like with your knowledge and hunting style a 3x9x40 VX2 would be fine if you wanted to push to 600yards get the CDS model and don't sweet the small stuff.

Best advice is to remove the box and give it a spin if a barrel is in the cards. Obermeyer Krieger. Would be top of the list.
