A non dial scope with mil dots would be OK if first focal plane. Very foolproof. I find it hard to keep count past about 2 dots, though. “is that the third dot or the fourth ?” That around 400m...

Consider a mil dot reticle, in conjunction with a range finder and drop chart it's plenty good enough to 400 m plus it's quicker, no twiddling with dials then forgetting to reset it, and once you...

Its not the glass that you need its the dialling and the holding zero . The VX3i and in my limited experience the VX5 have quite soft clicks so youd need a zero lock more than a stop as they move...

Definitely want something with zero stop or don't bother. Thats my opinion. I run a vx5 on both hunting rifles, yes better to be had but Has never let me down yet.

I personally don't think you need a dial up scope out to 400. Have shot plenty of animals consistantly with a 9 power scope. Zeroed at 300yards I've got a vx3 3.5 to 10 with the red dot. Have shot...

To dial distances reliably you need a scope which can handle to constant click adjustments plus a good zero stop. To get these things you really need to be looking at more like the 2k spend. That...

If your going to dial up your scope you'll also need a range finder so you know how much to dial. If your just guess-timating you might as well stick with mpbr. Sent from my SM-G525F using Tapatalk

Nothing wrong with the vx freedom with cds for dialing 400

Well no, you don't actually have to spend 2k to get a dial up scope. In saying that of course the more you spend the better the glass. I've been using Bushnell trophy elite 2.8 x 15 x50. They don't...
