Just picked up a new Ruger in 270 for my son. Got some gift cards for Bass Pro and the gun needs a scope. I'm trying to decide between the Leupold Golden Ring VX-3 Rifle Scope 2.5X - 8X for $350 or the VX-3 3.5X - 10X (SKU: 1589240) for $379. 36mm vs 40mm, probably not much difference. Gun will be used for targets and some hunting (out to 300 yards).
