I'm pretty sure I have just seen my third Prostaff go South with no reall reason. This one is the 4-12x40 BDC and it's less than a year old with fewer than 300 rounds fired.
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a Leupold VX-3L 4.5-14x50 with Boone & Crockett Retical. This would be mounted on my Tikka T3 Lite in .308 which has produced 2 1/4 inch groups from 400 yards with the Prostaff when it was working right.
I'd love to be able to say I shot that group but my friend did it, I got a 4 inch group from 400 in the wind though.
So? Too much scope for the rifle? Too expensive for what they are? A bit excessive for a hunting rifle?
What I didn't mention is this Tikka has been fitted to a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock and has had the lugs lightly lapped. It may be the sharpest shooting rifle I have ever had my paws on.
So tempted to pull the trigger on this scope!
