[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1381222, member: 30902"] I'm gonna piggyback a bit here with Mario. I have a pile of VXIII and VX-3's and they get the job done. I've been slowly replacing them with VX-6's. I'm as likely to shoot something at fifty yards as I am 500-750yds or farther so it's real easy to have too much on the bottom end. With that in mind after buying a couple of the VX-6's in 4-24x52 with the Boone and Crockett and TMOA reticles I came across a good deal on a couple in 3-18x50 and I could not be happier with any of them. As a rule 10x at 1000yds is the minimum needed for deer/elk sized game so with either you have more than enough magnification for anything from real close to a thousand yards. You can spend more but there's no need to because the VX-6's will do anything you need. Once you settle on a good load you can even get a free CDS dial made that will exactly fit to your drop chart. It won't be exact but it will probably be close enough for all you need. If there's a lot of difference in elevations where you hunt you can always get multiple custom dials for the elevation extremes. [/QUOTE]
