I own Leupolds and Burris Fullfields. I tested my latest Fullfield against my Leupold Vx3 well past sunset -same basic 3-9x40ish config and kept waiting for the Vx3 to outshine it at at well over twice the cost but it never happened. Still love the Vx3 but.... Clicks are identical on both - could be crisper, but are repeatable and I have never lost zero.

I would look Fullfield but of course either will work. 9 year old eyes can do a lot more than most of ours reading this.

As for a load for your little girl- so many here use the 100 grain 6.5 nosler ballistic tips for deer and more. They swear by them and it seems like the perfect bullet choice at the speed you want to drive it. Can't see how you could get less kick using anything else.


When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of
