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

I can't decide whether to change my rig. I like it with the zeiss 2.5-8 but thought I might range out a bit more with a vxIII 3.5-10x40 with the b&c reticle. Any opinions other than ditch them both and get a vx3 2.5-8? Thanks.

I run a VX II 3-9x40 with dots on mine. I worked up a load with 155 scenars at about 3000 that's shooting well at 100 but I need to get out and see how it does out to 500 and check where the dots fall.

If I ever get the coin together, I'm gonna mount a Swaro 3.5-10x42 on my Ti. If I can't swing the entry price for that, I'll go 3.5-10x40VX3, probably with an M1 elevation turret.

3.5-10....they go with long action 700s like PB&J.

I agree and the 2.5-8 goes with the short action. Hard combos to beat.

what's your load?

+1. But they go together more like peanut butter and... ladies.

I like my 3.5-10 leupy's Some good rebates on them right now also!

I run the Zeiss 4-14 on my 6.5-06 and a Steiner 2.5-10 Predator on the 6.5X47L both are good choices for your itch.

I have a 2.5-8 leupold on my model seven think its a good lightweight scope i would stay with what you got or get the 3-9 lightweight or compact from leupold.. I would stay with a lightweight scope for that rifle

Win brass, cci 250, 155 scenar, and I believe it was 62g of H4350 but I'll have to check when I get home. It shot about 1 moa but may do better if I play with seating depths.

6x36

I have the Swaro on one, with the TDS that I like so well but on my others
I run the Leupold 2.5 - 8 x 36 with B&C reticle on my short actions,
and the Kahles 3 - 9 x 42 AH with TDS reticle�on the long actions.

All in Talleys of course.

This works out perfectly for me.

I have to vote for the Leupy 3.5-10 with the M1's. Have one in Talley extra lows on my Ti and it is a perfect fit. Generally save the 3.5-10 for the long actions but this one is on a 7mm SAUM and it fits the rifle well and balances nicely for me. I usually go with the 2.5-8 on the short actions. Both great scopes for the $.

I don't know about 2.5-8 Conquests... the 3-9x40 Conquest is a spectacularly good scope on a LA rifle. The RZ600 reticle works great but is an odd one; I much prefer the Leup B&C reticle IF I'm keeping shots to 450, maybe 500 tops (I don't like the 500-yd aiming point, which is essentially a post).

I have not used a 3.5-10 Leup but a lot of people like them a lot on LA rifles. That with a B&C would not likely suck.

I agree and the 2.5-8 is about the same length just a little lighter and smaller obj.

I go with the Weaver Grand slam 4.75 power on mine & have no problem going out to 600 yds. with it when dead on at 300. I use 150 gr. TSX,s at 3050. This setup goes 6 lb. even with scope & rings and is a pleasure to carry at 11,000 ft. where we elk hunt.
Keep it simple, keep it light.

Had a Leupold 6x42 in Talley Ltwt's on mine before I sold it (the rifle). It was absolute perfection!

Colorado ladies have giant, gaping caves where their vaginas should be.

I would go with the leupold 3.5-10x40 for your LA. It is a great fit physically, as well as functionally.
