So when I got my Tikka T3X Lite Stainless in .30-06, I installed a 1" diameter DNZ Gamer Reaper mount, and then a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x32 scope I had lying around.
That scope is still on the rifle and it's not good enough. Considering my recent positive experience with Leupold glass (rimfire and scout scopes) I thought a VX 3i 3.5-10x40 might work nicely. I previously owned a Mark IV 2.5-10x42 with a 30mm tube, and it was nice but a bit busy and certainly more options than I needed. However I do like the idea of the adjustable elevation turret and Z-lock feature offered on one version of VX 3i. Which seems like a compromise between tactical and set-and-forget.
Anyone have encouraging or discouraging things to say about this model? I'd like to leave the DNZ mount on, which limits me to a 1" tube and about 40mm objective lens. But other similar suggestions are welcome, if there's a good reason to go along with it.
Thanks guys!
