Thread: New scope help needed

Team...
Looking for a new scope to shoot out to 400-500m. Have a vx3 2.5-8 B&C but not enough grunt at the top end. Looking at a dial up. Have all but sold myself on a vx3 3.5-10 CDS but open to suggestions/offers. Budget upto $900~
Cheers

the 2x wont make enough difference to justify the $$$

there is a vx3 4.5 - 14 thats just poped up in the buy and sell

Buy Woodys one. 4.5-14, B&C with cds etc .

Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x42 worth a look

Woodys scope is mint but too grunty at the bottom end. I do mostly bush hunting but like having enough zoom if i was to do some slip work/tops etc. Looked through a 9 power next to my 8 power on the weekend at some deer 1km away and i noticed the difference

@chainsaw i would love one but would need new rings and is a bit far out of my budget

Get a 3-9x33 ultralight vx-2 and fit a screw on dial. I’ve shot with mine on a 14.5” .308 out to 665yards with much success

Where did you get screw on dials?

Guncity and reloaders

Ive got a vx2 cds wind plex on my 308, got zero stop so only shoots to 550 but its all good

Don’t discount other brands mate leupold isn’t the be all end all
I used to own a vx3 4-14 b&c and it was a great scope
But i now have nikon monarchs or buck masters on the rifles
Great kit mate and wayyy cheaper

Optics on the monarch are compareable to the vx3 if not a bit better imo

@Gibo where did you get dials with a zero stop for a vx2??
Yeah only looking at leupy because not a bad price and has dials. Nikon monarchs are beautiful but not dials like the CDS.

Got mine from Reloaders, then they sent me a 2mm ball bearing to press into the hole in the turret which creates the zero stop

Got mine from Hamils Tauranga, beat the price i could get at Reloaders. Got ball bearing from nz asia

Could either of you pm me or post pics. Interested to see
