Hi Forum members,

Parky here from Canada....I need some suggestions for a scope to be installed on a 52 cal Knight Long Range Hunter....Initially I had purchased a 3X9X40 leupold VX1 with the LRD reticle for this gun but am considering stepping up both in magnification and a different reticle ....Given the advertised capability of this gun I'm thinking I should look more in the 3X12 or 3X14 range. My query however is finding a ballistic type reticle that will assist with the load and bullet combinations currently available for the 52cal. I've poured over many of the forum posts on the subject and have narrowed down some possibilities...Would appreciate any feedback, good or bad. As for the VX1, I can mount this scope on mya Traditions Pursuit instead.

Bushnell Elite 3200 with the ballistic reticle...not overly fussy about the ballistic reticle, seems to cluttered...mid priced
Burris Fullfield IIor Signature Select with the ballistic plex...current favorite, price is comparable to the 3200 above (Fullfield) and slightly below theVX3 below (Signature)
Leupold VX3...only leupold model available with the boone & crockett reticle (other than the VX-L and VX-7) ...high end pricing

As for the other forum favorite the Nikon Omega Bdc..I can't say I'm fussy about the circle references on this reticle. Seems to clutter up the view through the scope.

Thanks for any input.
