Hello,
a month or so ago I had my mind set on a Leupold VX-II, 2-7x33. Now I see that the VX-II, 3-9x40 is the same price both at Cabelas and Midway.
Which would you pick and why?
Here's more data and my thought process, maybe this will help...
The scope is going on a Remmington 788, 22" barrel in .308 that is used a couple of times per year; a little at the range, and a little hunting. Hunting is all done in the east, Florida and GA, on predominantly hog and deer. One regular location offers shots out to 300 yards, but most of the work will be done at 100 or less. I wold like to hunt out west some day but right now that is not monitarily feasible.
I like the thought of the overall lower profile and cg of the 2-7, as well as the 2x for woods carry. However, 3x is not much more than 2x when it comes to the lower power. Also, the 40mm objective is quite a bit more area than 33.
Hmmmmm.
