[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2312355, member: 116486"] G'day I'm torn between 2 scope options. I have mounts. I built a lightweight .280ai with a C/F wrapped barrel and C/F stock on a Tikka action. This was planned to be a versatile carry rifle in a chambering that I researched and settled on. You might consider it a mountain rifle or a sheep rifle but I'm not using that way for now but I want to hunt with it.anyway. So I have a Leupold that was an impulse buy that I have not mounted. Still new in box It's a Vx3i 3.5-10x40 cds . It might get $800 Aussie or I can use it. I would really like a Swarovski Z5 2.4-12x50, because I think it's versatile and barely heavier. But retails around $1800 Aussie dollars, but I would really like it. Even if I could trade up for $1000, is it worth it? It's nice, I'm looking for a reason to justify the money. You get the occassional bad review on Swarovski, that worries me. Maybe, some patriotic American members might convince me to mount the Leupold and use it or keep it anyway. Your thoughts please. This is an LR thread but is a 3.5-10 enough to say 5-600 used correctly? It's not a dedicated LR rig but may be used that way some day. [/QUOTE]
