I would get the SWFA SS 3X9 HD while it's on Black Friday sale. I think the HD glass is very similar to VX3. No need for BDC when you learn the MILL system. That scope is FFP and the reticle will work accurately the same at any power unlike a BDC which changes at every power. Much much better system when you get use to it. You have a rock solid rifle capable of long range.I would want to pair it with a rock solid scope capable of long range as well. Nothing else even close to that price will be as accurate in tracking.
This. My son has the 3x15 on his 308. The 3x9 is a better hunting scope,we have two .All are rock solid. He shot a 190" mule deer at dark last week.Worked great. The 3x9 has smaller, stiffer turrets that won't get accidentally turned,and a little thicker reticle.
