    Rifle Scopes Leupold reticle help.

    I mounted a VX3-I 6.5-20x scope on my 338-378 weatherby magnum for a hunt out west next month. The reticle is a varmint hunter reticle as seen below. I looked at the manual to get an idea of how many miles/MOA is between each elevation line. Unfortunately the manual is useless and basically...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt with a vortex razor HD gen2?

    Thanks for all the feedback. The rifle is 9lbs, the vortex is about 3 3/4 lbs. plus bipod, rings etc. I’ll probably be around 13.5ish lbs. The Leopold and the Amg seem like awesome options. I was actually hoping for a high power razor hd gen iii, but vortex is really dragging its feet on...

    Hello everyone, I have been in the market to upgrade a scope on my primary hunting rifle. The rifle is a Remington 700 sendero SFII, it’s more so built to be a long range rifle. I currently have a leupold VX3 3.5-10x on the rifle. I am going out west for a mule deer hunt in October, my guide...

    Initial impressions on vortex razor 4000. Need some advice.

    Just an update. I did not end up sending the range finder in, but i finally got to test its capabilities and was actually able to range a target at 4329 yards!! Was extremely surprised. I did it twice but was unable to repeat it after that.
