[QUOTE="Good Times, post: 1140170, member: 92802"] You were talking about a VX6 and a Nightforce SHV 3-10in the beginning of the post in the $875.00 - $960.00 price range You could get a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 or 4.5-14x40 with three turrets for different altitudes and still come out ahead. For what it's worth I have both the 1" and 30mm Leupold's with the target turrets installed in both 3.5-10x40 and 4.5-14x40 with side focus and without. Don't find much of a difference between them for out to 600 yards hunting. The scope I have hunted most with is the 3.5-10x40 Varix III with target turret installed and laser engraved turret. It's very lightweight and has stood up to the punishing recoil of the 300 ackley for many years. Complete rifle with 26" shilen barrel, scope and mounts weigh 7lbs 8 oz This rifle scope combo has been deadly out to 600 yards. You can also send in any older Leupold Varix III scope and Leupold will install the windplex reticle for $70 and $90 for the target turret. Laser engraved turrets with your data is around $70 from leupold. The good news is that you have lots of options that will work well. You have a flat shooting rifle and could always go with a little chart taped to the stock with clicks past 400 yards until you get funds to get engraved turrets. Well, that's just my experience with Leupold scopes and others for the last 30 years, your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
