    Well done Tahr.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yes. A bit of fat in the meat.
    Give me a ring if you want some. I’m out of room in the deep freeze

    Thanks for the reply. Tossing up between one of the same and the VX3 3.5-10 CDS to sit on top of my 7mm08. Would you rate them highly?

    Thanks again,

    Jase

    Either Jase. The glass is better on vx6 than vx3 but its mostly academic. vx3 is pretty good. Just remember that the CDS turrets can get knocked off zero quite easily so you need to check them a bit. The exta 2x power of the vx6 doesn’t count for much either unless you are shooting beyond 500 yards. I went for the vx6 ‘cos of my tired eyes.

    Cheers
