Key your eye open for second had scopes there are often good deals for gear in very good nick. A VX6 3-18 would a great choice too

Do you reckon the VX-5HD 3 - 15 would be limiting? I just got one for a good price but am wondering if I should have got the 2 - 10 power version as it is going on a short 6.5 Creedmoor that is shooting out to 500m max, but I would still like to take short shots with. I am not sure what the FOV difference etc is on low power between them.
