I just put a Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40 on my Montana .223 with duplex reticle, it is what I had laying around. The rifle balances very well with that scope. I have not used the gun yet.
I am considered putting a SWFA 6x MQ on it but the weight made me think I should just as well have a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 on it and have more for the same weight. Obviously there is a considerable money difference that I would have to overcome.
My plan is to use the gun around the farm to shoot groundhogs and coyotes, plus whatever else needs killing.
