    that is what i am using on my 22.250 with the varmint reticle.
    i have used the reticle out to 500 and is long as its been calibrated and verified is very acccurate.
    The vx3 also seems to have very good glass for the price and dials reliably as well.
    apparently they are the same internals as the mk4

    You should consider a Burris Ballistic Plex 4.5-14 32mm for less than $300 US. We have been banging metal gongs out to 600 meters without touching a knob. Get the Strelok app for your Google based phone and you will have all you need, and you won't have to run away, run away.

    If it was me I'd get another 4.5x14Lr leupy with the fine cross hair and get one with the turrets or put the Low profile M1's on it.
    A cheaper alternative though heavier would be to import one of the Weaver superslams, x15 with the duplex or the bigger one if your keen on the dot.
    Not being smart here but if your shooting to 400 or even a couple of hundred more you'll never need 20x to get there.

    No, Its currently on my bros new AR, I have just built for him.

    Bloody barrel is only 4 inches longer than the scope. But at least we should be able to see a rabbit sneeze at a bloody long way away.

    ok ok, no laughing though, Shoulda taken the sunshade off the scope, would have looked more "balanced"
