I have the opportunity to get this scope through a buying program for 55% of MSRP and with shipping will come in under $500. I'm upgrading some of my choice of scopes and would look to put this on a new Bergara B-14 17HMR, a new caliber Bergara is releasing this year. Now I know that is a lot of scope for a 17HMR. I'll use it for prairie dogs mostly.
My question for you guys........My real preference is for a Tract Toric 3-15X42 T-Plex. But, it costs $750. I like the T-Plex reticle on the Tract better than the fine duplex on the Leupold. I like the magnification range better on the Tract. I have several Leupold scopes and have had others so I know what I'm getting with Leupold. I have 3 Tracts and like them a lot. I'm just having trouble passing up a deal like this.
SO.....what other scope do you guys like in the $500-$750 range for a 17HMR mostly shooting prairie dogs <200 yds??
