Gene Simillion is building me a matched pair of M70 30-06's - left hand and right hand (my son's a lefty).

I need to decide on the scope and had been planning the z6 1.7-10x42 but have heard a lot about the VX-6 2-12.

The difference in price is dramatic, but this is a buy once, cry once situation and I just want the best scopes for the rifles.

What do you guys think?
