T3 is an excellent choice. The ones I have been around didn't have any shooting problems. Not much negative is associated with the T3. If the T3 fits and feel right is all that matters.
3006 vs 308 both established rounds that will always be in style. The 06' in my opinion is a better choice if you will be hunting larger then deer game regularily, based on its ability to handle/utilize the larger gr sized bullets in the .308 cal.06 produces more velocity which inturn boost energy and ballistical numbers. The 06' has more recoil. OTC ammo is no problem with either. 308 is SA and 06 is LA...you can deceide if that is a factor our not. Deer it just don't matter..spliting hairs.
Both good scopes but I don't regret switching to the Conquest one bit. I like it better then the VXIII's in features and optically it is better to my eyes. I have had mine now for 4 years and never had a shift in POI, that after hard miles and more then a few bumps along the way.Personally see no need to buy a 50mm objective for biggame hunting anymore...use to think bigger must be better but it just wasn't. I have 40 & 44mm, my hunting pard has a 50mm, I see no optical advantages between the 3.Personal preference I suppose, just didn't find a 50mm offered me anythingin regards tomy usage (1/2hour before to 1/2hour after- ourlegal hunting hours).

There is about 100 FPS or less difference in the MV of 180-grain bullets between the .308 and the .30/'06. Seeing that there is sometimes as much difference as that between rounds out of the the SAME BOX of ammo, how can the .30/'06 be much better than the .308? I
I've heard people say that the .308 has less recoil than the '06. Well, using the maximum loads in both, I can't tell much difference. And in view of the fact that the .308 is generically about the most accurate round there is,how can you choose between them? What is your selection criteria?
Both are excellent cartridges, and both will do the same job on game. As far as heavy bullets is concerned, I've had no problems using bullets up to 220 grain roundnoses in my .308's.
I think the Leupold has an advantage over MANYother scopes in mechanical strength-the ability to stand up to recoil. I don't think most Leupolds are the ultimate optically, excpt for possibly the real expensive ones. The Zeiss, and other German scopes, seem to have excellent optics. I don't know how well the Zeiss stands up to the recoil of heavy rifles, but of course this is not a factor when selecting a scope for a .30/'06.
