I'm sure I'll be more confused by the end of this but I'll ask anyhow. Currently I have 284 win and a 30 nosler underway. I'm looking at scope combos. I have a vx5 3-15 in the drawer for one of them.
My thoughts are put the vx5 3-15 on the nosler and buy a vx5 2-10 for the 284. Shots with the 284 I wont really push past 500 where as I want to stretch the legs on the nosler.
Anyone have anyone thoughts on other viable options around the $1200 mark that could benefit both set ups?

I'm really impressed with my 2-10 vx5, was going to get another 3-15 but now run 3-15 on my 27 nosler and the 2-10 on my 270wsm
get another quality 3-15 or the VX6 2-12x42 are bloody awesome. But very hard to come by 2nd hand.... 'cos people hang on to them for a good reason.
Another option for your 284 would be a good quality 3-12, I run a Zeiss DL 3-12x50 on one of my 284's. Dial up is 6 mils so plenty plus some to spare for a 284 to 800+ yrds. Zeiss glass is hard to beat.
Why do you have two 500m rifles ? If you search for the answer to that, the solution to your scope question will become apparent. Grasshopper.
This is more or less the set up I'm trying to achieve, how do you get on without side focus?Quote:

Chuck that athalon that is for sale on here on the nosler then you can be like @GWH. 4.5-27 would be fun to use
Just use open sights.
As long as you get the rifle setup properly for most hunting applications side focus is unnessacary. Get the 2-10 vx5. I have the 3-15 on my 284 but if I did it again I'd likely just go the 2-10Quote:

They are a big fairly hefty scope tho eh, too much scope for a hunting rifle really.

He sent me a video the other day of shooting a rock in the bush at over 1000yds I believe to verify drop. I may have distance wrong but don't think so
Oh there you go he pressed reply just before me
What did you get your nosler for ?Quote:

Look at what scopes people are successfully using for 1000 yard gongs.Quote:

I have a 3-15 SuperSlam on my short 284win, in my opinion it's the perfect mag range for what I use the rifle for (Bush ranges to 500 yards)Quote:

Certainly steering towards a zeiss 5-25 or 6-24 for the nosler, 284 can get the 3-15 treatment
