[QUOTE="el Pollero, post: 1686599, member: 99868"] Question: Is paying the $200-250 more for a leupold vx5 over a vx3i worth the money for a dedicated deer gun . Built a 6.5 Grendel on an AR15 platform over the winter . Aero Precison upper and lower, Lilja barrel. Trying to get the glass on this thing before fall. Hunt middle TN farm land for deer. Big timber and rolling hill pasture land. Longest shot would be 400-450 yards but I have never had that opportunity. Usually 50-200 yards. Looking at leupold VX-5hd 3-15x44 with the illumated reticle. Leupold VX3i 4.5x14x50 Is the extra money worth it for a dedicated deer gun . The illumated reticle is a plus and if I go up to the VX-5 I would pay the extra for it Have hunted with a tikka t3x with a VX-3i 3.5x10 for the last few years and have been pleased with the early morning clarity of the VX3 I have had good luck with the CDS on the tikka so I think I would like to stick with one or the other of these. Opinions please!! [/QUOTE]
