Well this got handled quickly! Got an offer from a friend/member for a 3.5-10 Meopta at a price I couldn't turn down. I'll probably move a 2.5-8VX3 from my 30-06 to the T3 223 and put the Meopta on the 30-06. Gotta love the fire and fellow gun/scope junkies.
you will be happy with the meopta. I've got that scope on a creedmoor
