[QUOTE="Longshot38, post: 228994, member: 11627"] Send one of those to the leupold custom shop and have them change the reticle and add some turrets. Either a traditional Mil-Dot setup or the TMR would be and outstanding reticle choice. Objective size is highly over-rated! I have scopes with both 40 and 50 mm objectives and it is all about glass quality not size. If you want good light transmission you will need to pay for the glass. I'm not saying that leupold doesn't have decent glass but I am saying that their are others out there that are much better. It sort of falls like this: Good: Burris XTS Bushnell elite/3200/etc.... Super Sniper Falcon Menace Better: Nikon Monarchs Leupold (VXIII and up) Best: Zeiss Sightron (SIII's and Big skys) Nightforce Schmidt & Bender Swarovski IOR Khales Now this list is simply stating glass quality not overall quality or value. But it gets my point across. You have a quality scope in the VXIII and I would just have it redone at the custom shop. However if you are looking to upgrade I would look at sightron. Best bang for the buck in my opinion; plus it sits in your price range. [/QUOTE]
