Besides that, that new Leupold scope is so ugly it would make a freight train take a dirt road. IMO, a 40-42 mm scope is plenty. The VXIII 's are fine as are the Zeiss Conquest models. So are the Bushnell Elite 4200's. Even the Weaver Grand Slam's or Burris Signature's are decent. I also think Kahles makes a fine scope. Just put a Kahles CL on my Sako 30.06 . It was a 3-9 X42 and is just about as perfect. Love it!!! Good luck with your selection.
