I have a Leupold VX 3i 4.5-14x40 CDS with side focus on my .300 Weatherby Vanguard.
I liked that scope so much that I replaced the Nikon Prostaff 4-12x40 BDC that I had on my Remington 700 7 mm Rem mag with another VX 3i 4.5-14x40 CDS with side focus scope.
I also have a Leupold VX 3i 4.5-14x40 CDS without side focus on my .308 Win Weatherby Vanguard,
and a Leupold VX Freedom 3-9x40 scope on my .223 Rem Weatherby Vanguard.
I like the CDS turrets and I really like the side focus option.
I also have an older Leupold VX II 2-7x on my Remington 700 .375 RUM,
and a Leupold VX 4.5-14x40 with their B&C reticle on my Mark X .257 Ackley.
I guess I just like Leupold scopes.
