Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles rem 700 ti 30-06 scope choice help

Of those choices I would go 3.5-10x40. If you are looking to save weight and open to other options a 6x36 would be perfect and my first choice on a LA Ti.

My thought's to a T.

I'd personally bypass the B&C reticle... I couldn't stand it in the 2.5-8.

I'd go CDS and have Leupold put in dots as well.

The RapidZ 600 is a far better reticle than the B&C. Get the 3-9x40 Conquest Doug @ Cameraland has on the demo page right now. They're $499 and you get a $100 mail-in rebate to bring that down to $399. Amazing deal for that scope.

The thing to keep in mind about a second-focal-plane scope is that your reticle is only "correct" on one magnifications setting. You can reassign ranges to the various bars if you're on another setting, but that defeats the purpose of having your info in the reticle and requires you keep notes about your reticle settings. Also keep in mind that as distances grow, you'll have to turn the magnification DOWN to "stretch" the range of the reticle.

With all that said, the RZ600 set to a hard stop at 9x gives you a 600y aiming point worth 10MOA. You can change your zero range - forward or back - to affect your trajectory vs. your reticle. My .300 WSM is zeroed at 140 yards instead of 200. That puts me right on ie; within +/- 2" (confirmed in the field) out to 600y. My .260 is zeroed at 250 to achieve the same effect. The important part about having your SFP reticle set to be used at max power is that you can crank it into the right position without having to look at the scope to line up arrows at the correct power. Makes it easy and foolproof. When elk hunting in thick timber you can turn your magnification all the way down then immediately turn it to the right setting when a bull breaks out through the park.

I'm surprised the power ring clears with the extra lows- did you shave the rear ring down a bit?

I dont think I've ever had a problem with leupolds in extra lows but zeiss require lows.

Conquests require mediums for me, but then I am a bit of a genetic freak (or statistical outlier, if you prefer).

I have all of the above too, but VX3 2.5-8 B&C rides atop my Ti thirty-ought six. VXIII 3.5-10 on the Kimber 243 SS and Zeiss 2.5-8 on the 257 Montana.

My vote on the VX-3 3.5-10x40 B&C reticle plus have the same scope on my Kimber Montana 25-06.

A lightweight rig like the Ti begs for a light scope--I'd keep the Zeiss before the 3.5-10, I'd choose the VX3 2.5-8 before the Zeiss.

I use the 3.5-10X40 VX3 on my 84L and love it.They only weigh a couple more ounces than the 2.5X8.
