Looking for opinions or experience in choosing a scope, with very
specific criteria.
- Must be a Leupold product
- Host rifle is a 6.5x55 Tikka T3x Forest
- Primarily for whitetail, east of the Mississippi, out to 500 yds.
- Typical low light, dusk/dawn conditions
- No budget constraint
My first thought: VX5HD 3-15x44 with Firedot Duplex (illuminated)
If your looking for a Leupold scope for your whitetail rifle the
VX5HD 3-15x44 with Firedot Duplex (illuminated) is a very good choice. I have 3 and have never had a problem with any of them. I also have a VX6HD 3-18x44 with Firedot Duplex (illuminated) that would be a good choice also. But the VX5HD is more than enough scope to cover the bases with in your shooting range for less coin.
