I have a VX3 in 2.5-8x36, I was thinking of putting on it, but was wondering what folks on the fire thought. Any feedback or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!
I have a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36mm duplex on my 375 Ruger Guide Gun and like it. In heavy timber the 2.5x is used and more open areas it is on 6x. I use 8x for load development and range work. Scope it light, compact and fits low on receiver. That keeps a good cheek weld to the stock for shooting off hand real easy.

Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.
