looking at new scopes any ideas?

[bear hunter]

Ok I need help in finding a basic cross hairsand custom dail for a mid rang price. I shoot a 300 win mag hand loads 180gr NP. Looking for a new scope and I don't understand all the diffrances. Any info will hell. Leaning to Leupold or Vortex. Just want basic cross hairs no hold over ones.

If you're settled on that load I might suggest having some custom dials cut, takes the brain work out of longer shots.

Leopold will do this on some models of scopes,  the VX-3 line of scopes comes with a free CDS coupon.

Cabelas had their VX3 CDS scopes on sale a few weeks back. They were clearing out all of the duplex reticles at about $100 off. They may still be on sale.

Hard to beat a vortex viper for the price and still get good glass

I think you can't go wrong with either Leupold or Vortex.  I've had/used several models of both over the years and have never been disappointed.  Good quality for the money and great warranties - I think you'll be pleased with either.

Redfield revolution out of the Leupold operation might be a fit

I don't like Vortex quality 

I just shot my new Zeiss Conquest HD5 and it is incredible.

I can't recommend ziess until I figure out why mine goes black at certain temps and humidity levels.  Very annoying when you're at that mix while hunting and it keeps going black on you.

It's not a warm inside take it outside where it's cold deal, it does it all day long even when the scope is cold soaked.


this on a newer conquest

Send it back to Zeiss. They'll fix or replace it. Don't mess around with it.
