RE: What do you think of this scope for my rifle.
Checkout Ebay, may be able to get a nice used one or like new....or new in box....for around $600....vx-iii, 4.5-14x40 or 50mm. 18x is a bit big IMO, some would even say 14x is too much but I dig it.
look around I think you can find a 50mm...
I picked up a nice vx-iii 4.5-14x50mm LR(30mm tube)with the B&C reticle off ebay for about $600.
