Does anyone have any exp. with this scope? I am thinking of replacing the scope on a browning 270wsm abolt micro hunter, which is mostly used for stand hunting deer on powerline.I can get one for about $500 and that is about my price range.Ialso have read about the zeiss conquest,which looks pretty good also for about the same money.

If you like the illum. reticle, the VX R has been getting good reviews. I like the firedot 4 reticle offering. The Zeiss scopes are solid as well. Either would be fine IMO.

bugsNbows, I also like the the illim. reticle,but am wondering how it would be at 100 + yards. Also what the scope is compared to w/o the reticle on (battery dies). Also what is the " firedot 4 reticle", all I see is the firedot reticle.
Thanks, Bill

Bill, the firedot 4 is basically a regular duplex without the upper vertical post. At 100 yds. it will function fine. If the battery croaks (unlikely but always carry a spare) it's still visible. It's just a center red dot that would go away. I'd suggest that you log onto the S.W.F.A. website and look at the reticles in the Leupy rifle scope section. Good luck.

bugsNbows, I checked out the firedot 4 reticle, and I will probably go that route. Thanks for the info.

I have one on my .375 H&H and love it, can't go wrong.

Sounds good Bill. Let us know (here) how it works out for you. Good luck.

I was looking at a 3x9-40 with the FireDot Duplex. It'll be for stand hunting bear mostly.

Sighted her in yesterday. I like this scope!

I finally sighted it in. I has the circle around the red dot. I like the way it looked out at 150 yds. Now I need to put it on a deer
