Would like a Viper HS, played with one today, nice eyebox and worked well. Unfortunately the shop wasn't the cheapest and I can get it for $150 less elsewhere, just not this weekend.

I'm not a big Leupold fan, found them "tunnelish" with a shit eyebox. Head had to be precise to be right.
Weeeeeell I tried (at shops urging) one of the new VX3i 3.5-10 scope. Daaaaaamn.

Heading to Wanganui tomorrow for work, will have a look in the shops there - but will be buying a scope tomorrow.
In shop, as I don't trust Saturday morning couriers ;-)

Thanks for everyone's input - I looked at scopes based on some of the suggestions you've all made - scopes I usually wouldn't think of. Thanks :-D

VX3i has poor field of view, limited elevation travel and true maggnification is 3.3x9.7

Reticle: Duplex
Magnification: 3.3 – 9.7x
Objective Clear Aperture (in. / mm) 1.6 / 40
Linear Field of View (ft/100yds): 29.8 – 11.0
Linear Field of View (m/100m): 9.9 – 3.7
Length (in.): 12.6
Adjustment Range: 52.0 MOA

This is the one Ill be buying. Better across the board apart from price.
