    Sorry you'll have to explain SOD to me probably should know but can think,

    It's either go this way or shift one over the heavier Mill dial up scopes and work up a 190-208gr load and use it as gully to gully and drop something lighter on the 6.5

    Just playing around, if I go the light way I may go the VX3! unless you are selling cheap

    The VX-R has a much thicker reticle and is designed for low light usage, hence the illumination. They make a good bush scope but not so good for long range. I've got one on my AR & the dot is great for that type of shooting.

    S.O.D = screw on dial, its a Leupold factory option that you can fit yourself and also make it a zero stop by inserting a ball/pin i believe. I will PM you

    I have a 3x9 VXR on my 270 and I recommend it. I hardly ever remember to turn the red dot on to be honest though.

    Leupold have launched their new VX6 HD, so currently VX6s are dirt cheap in the states. id head that route.

    Dirt cheap is a comparative term to your bank account....
