I'm looking at scope options for a new 7mm-08; my original thought was to go with a VX3i 3.5-10x40 but all the negative comments about Leupold lately have me rethinking my decision. I'm now considering a Swaro Z3 3-10x42 which I know is a solid choice but more than twice the price of the Leupold I was planning on.
Are there any other scopes I should be looking at? I want to stay in that size range (magnification, objective, weight). I've considered the Vortex HD LH as well although it is a few ounces heavier; I have several vortex scopes (diamondback to razor, all good values imo) but would kind of like to try another brand.
I'd run with the Leupold VX-3i. Yes, there's a lot of forum banter but dollar for value, they are still the best bang for the buck, in my opinion.
For every negative forum comment here, there's thousands of satisfied Leupold users- heck, make that tens of thousands.
That being said, I also have a couple of Swaros and think they're a great scope, for the money, too.
