[QUOTE="Seezer, post: 2998628, member: 111130"] I have 3 of the Leupold VX5HD 3-15x44 scopes on a 300 PRC, 25-06, and 6.5 PRC. I belong to a 1000+ yard rifle club, and routinely hit 10"-12" steel plates at 1050 yards with this optic. 15X is plenty of magnification for shots out to this range, and the 3X is great for close quarters work. I have had nothing but great luck with dialing these scopes at varying ranges and ringing steel (and harvesting elk, mule deer, and antelope) in Colorado. I avoid scopes with a low range magnification of greater than 4X as it restricts field of view on shots in the timber. My favorite Leupold reticle on the VX5HD is the windplex, and actually prefer it over the firedot duplex (2 of my 3 have the firedot). I also have a 28 Nosler but have a Swaro Z3 4-12 on that gun for its lighter weight and ballistic reticle. VX3's are nice, lightweight scopes but I would recommend staying below the 4.5x for western hunting. [/QUOTE]
