Guys, I don't get a lot of time to contribute to the forum, but now that taxidermy season is winding down for me I wanted to share this info.
I put a custom rifle together a couple years ago (300 Win, Winchester Model 70, Benchmark #4 contour, Manners EH3 stock), and put a VX6 3-18 CDS scope on it. My scope has the windplex firedot reticle ( I think that's what it's called). If you are looking for a quality scope that's not overly heavy, has a great reticle, illuminated option, and a zero stop locking turret that works very well, you need to look at the VX6. I did some shooting this weekend and was again impressed with this scope. I've got a pretty decent load worked up for this gun, and the scope just continues to impress. It gathers light well, clarity is good, the turret tracks extremely well, and the firedot saved my butt last Fall when I had to make a follow-up shot on a mule deer at last light.
If you're in the market for a good scope, take a look at the Leupold VX6.
