Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-2 6-18x40mm vs. Vortex Viper HS 6-24x50 w/ V-Plex Ret (MOA)

[nomocuomo]

I'm looking to put a scope on a Weatherby vanguard series 2 in 7mm mag. Any thoughts? Looking to keep the price tag close to the price of the rifle. Rifle will be primarily used for hunting. anybody used these scopes? Looking for real reviews not marketing. Any other mfg's I should be looking at?
