I just purchased a Tikka T3 Lite, 270Win; the rifle will be used for whitetail and hopefully mule deer and Elk. For whitetail and Mulie, I'll use a 120 or 130gr pill; Elk will be 150gr Accubonds.

I've narrowed the scope choices down between two: VX2 3-9x40mm CDS or VX2 3-9x40mm LR Duplex, with the CDS system costing $28.00 more. Based upon reading alone, it's my thought the CDS would be the more logical choice for shots greater than 300yds.

For those of you that are actually using or have used the above systems/reticles; what is your recommendation?

Please feel free to elaborate on the pros/cons of either prospective scope.


24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.
