Thread: scope advice

Hi guys
im new to this forum and sport, ive introduced myself on here and had a friendly welcome(thank you for that)
now ive sorted what i want for a rifle ( a tikka t3 .270 rem) and now i would like abit of advice on scopes, there are a few packages round for these guns and as far as a package goes i was looking at the rifle with a burris fullfeild 2 2x9-40.

my questions are ive been looking at buying a second hand scope, mainly leupold and the ones ive been looking at are a vx2 4x12-40 or a vx2 3x9-40
these are about the same price as the new scope with the package which would i go for?
i was just trying to get a better quality scope by going second hand, for same price i spend on a lessor scope new?

have i got this right?

thanks Ben
