Looking for a Scope for 220 Swift

I love the VX-3 varmint reticle. I will be putting it on my new 6 AI build. I don't know a lot on Vortex other than I have heard they have had a lot of issues with tracking. Some have said they fixed this recently, so I don't know. I know they aren't as durable as Leupolds either, but I don't imagine you will banging your guns around.

You can't miss with the leupold. The clarity is better on it too. You may get a bit better value with the Vortex. But I am not sold on them quite yet.

 

I use the vx-3's with varmint ret. on my smaller pdog/varmint guns (.223/22-250/swift) and Zeiss conquest with z-ples ret. on larger ones.

 

How is that z-ples? I can't find one to look at around here.

 

i like 'em, they have different ranges so you can match reticle to appropriate ranges, (I use the z-600 and z-800 the most, (the z-1000 is sort of "busy") and calibers .
The varmint ret. isn't very useful in low lite conditions as the lines are very thin, but work great on pdogs, etc. The z-plex stadia lines are a little heavier but work great for coyotes, etc. I use the z-800 on a .300RUM for deer/elk., and on a .243 AI for dogs. I only have 2 scopes that I dial anymore, much prefer to spend my time just shooting, very easy to do with these reticles, just range a few distances when I first get to pdog town or coyote "set" and then use the reticle.

 

I completely understand. These days I find myself dialing rarely, even with my Mk 4. Especially when I am hunting.
