[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 613462, member: 29281"] I presume that though you plan to do 1,000 yard shooting you'll also want to shoot at some closer targets. Assuming that is correct: 1. Some type of ranging reticle would be nice such as a mil dot, TMR, etc. I don't think you'll get that in a Leupold VX-3. 2. You'll also want the scope to track well and have target or tactical turrets. I don't think you'll get that stuff in your price range if you're going for Zeiss or Swarovski. I have a Swarovski, a couple of Nightforce scopes, a Zeiss Conquest scope and multiple Leupold Mark 4 scopes so I guess you can tell where my bias lies. A big advantage to the Leupolds aside from the fact that they're nice is that you get service in the U.S.A. if it's needed and it's pretty prompt. I've bought all of my Leupold scopes well within your price range. Since the Leupold warranty is good even if you buy used, I buy used Leupolds most of the time. [/QUOTE]
