Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope my 6.5x55

I would top it with a Nightforce 3-10x42 in Talley lightweight rings.

The SHV is a bargain and a stellar scope.

yes- but at over $500 more than the Meopro..........

Still haven't pulled the trigger on a new score yet.

I see that Cabelas has the 2014 Vx-3 3.5-10 x 40 CDS on sale for $400. I'd it worth the $130 price difference from a vx2 CDS?

They also have their euro series. 3-9x42 for $300 with standard Plex. Nearest I can tell it's a Meopta built like the old Zeiss conquests, only question is potential warranty and no bdc or ranging reticle.

Hello a penny pincher out. My best optics to date are an Aimpoint PRO and a Nikon prostaff

First vote goes to VX-3 2.5-8x36

Second vote goes to Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40

I have 2 t3s and this is how they're set up. The leupy is on my swede. Go with the DNZ mount.

I've ditched all my variables and gone fixed.

Can't speak highly enough of the Leupy 6x42 and 6x36.

I went with the 6x36 on my Tikkas. My buddy has the 6x42 and it wasn't $100 better or brighter to me and not worth the extra size and weight (I've got the Superlites).

Optics planet always has 5% coupons and free shipping so you'd be looking at about $333 for the LRD model.

As SLM once said, 'A Leupy fixed 6 is never a wrong answer'...

Oh, and I might add I've had zero issues with the factory rings....apart from being azz ugly!

Still using factory on one of the SL but went with 16Bore's milled Talleys on the .308 for sexiness....

get a meopta meopro 3-9x42 with #4 reticle

Thumbs up for the 6.5x55 with the FX3 6x42.

I have a Sightron Big Sky 3-12 (HHR reticle)on my 7mm-08.

It's my first Sightron... It's about the same price point as a VX3 and I'd say it matches or beats my VX3 in clarity and brightness. Very impressed.
