[QUOTE="CLW, post: 443600, member: 27224"] Well they dont make a VX3 3-9x40, let alone one in the CDS. Your choices are the 3.5-10 with a 40 or 50 mm objective or the 4.5-14 with a 40 mm objective........ I would suggest the 4.5-14..... I just bought one and will use one of the free dials for the gun the new scope is going on and will be sending in another 4.5-14 VX3 to have it set up for the other free dial. If you put an accurate load together and practice then 500 yards should not be much of an issue. The ballistic tip is probably actually a good bullet for a long range shot on an antelope with that gun as it will still open up well, the issue you may have is if you end up getting a shot at 50 yards while looking for that 500 yard shot. That bullet may come apart at the speeds you will have at short distance....... Still shouldnt be much of an issue on an antelope, you should get enough penetration I would think even if you get a little fragmentation.
