yeah I had a look at the 3-15 would be nice to have the parallax adjustment, but for the type of hunting I do doesnt really warrant the extra jump in price. Probably 1 in 5 deer I shoot would be over 300 yards, the rest would be within 20m. I just want to take abit of the guess work (hold over) out of some of those longer shots I get presented with. Just spent 6k on laser eye surgery so magnification isn't an issue , old eagle eyes now.

Cheers for all the advice lads, sounds like it's definitely worth the extra money for the VX-5. Buy Once Cry Once.
