[QUOTE="ltrmc02, post: 968996, member: 39103"] I'm looking a quality scope with low profile turrets that tracks well for my light weight standard barrel .308. I'm considering the 3-9x40 VX-2 or the 3.5-10x40 VX-3 but am open to suggestions of other brands similar to the slim profile of this scope. I'd like something that I can consistently and accurately adjust to stretch out to 500 maybe 600 yards if I find the rifle accurate enough to make such shots. I just hunt whitetail with it and live in Eastern NC so our deer here aren't very big. I see the VX-2 3-9X40 runs around $350 and the VX-3 3.5-10x40 is around $550. Is the VX3 worth the extra $200 in your opinion? I always thought it was just a few more lens coatings with a slight bit better light transmission but on SWFA I see there is a 12.5% weight increase between these two scopes so is the VX-3 a beefier or better built scope than the VX-2? I'm using Leupold 2 piece base with the lowest rings so wondering if I could reach 600 yards with the adjustment of this 1" scope. It says it has 52 MOA of adjustment so sitting on a 0 MOA base do I figure on having half that amount of adjustment for bullet drop? [/QUOTE]
