[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 221391, member: 412"] NF on a dedicated LR rig. LR means different things to different people. The deer I took in MT last fall was over 500yds w/sub 7# 270 and 4.5-14x40 1" tube Leupold. 1-shot, flop. For Leupold, I actually prefer the older Vari-X series to the VX series. I haven't tried any of the newer VX-i series yet. With Vortex IMO, you're paying 5x-6x more than the piece of shit is worth so they can give you the 1st one, 2-3 replacements until you're frustrated and go with something else, meaning they still got 2x more than the piece of shit was worth. If using a rifle as a "long-range" while out walking/hiking/stillhunting, I'd be looking at something like the 2.5-10x42 NXS. If mainly using the rifle from a stand with lots of LR opportunity, I'd probably have a 5.5-22x56. [/QUOTE]
