what is the max range and the min range you plan to shoot? also what is your price range

I'm runniing a Bushnell Elite/Baush &Lomb 3200 2-7x 32. Its a shotgun scope but works extremely well. I've been looking at the Leupold VX-R.... I just cant seem to bring myself to spend $475 on one.

I've been running the Leupold vx3 1.5-5x illum. Duplex

I ran the millet 1-4. It was ok, I found it to be a little low on the power. I would much prefer a 2-7. I may put my bushnell 2.5-16 just to see how it works.

I am using a Leupold VX-II 2-7. Plenty of magnification. I also, got it with the long distance reticule, but I have not been able to do enough shooting with the scope to really know where the other dots measure up for distance.

I use the same Millett 1-4x on my 458 Socom and think its good. Its a modest range cartridge, I guess I don't see the need for a higher power scope.

Basic 2-7X Leupold would be my choice.

the 1-4 millet woudl be a good choice as well as the 1-4 vortex pst. like i said depends on your price range and the ranges you intend to shoot

The issue i had with the millet was at low intensity on the red dot it would not be that great. It kind of reflected on the glass. I found the scope to be quite heavy for what it offered. Also i always hunt with binoculars and don't hunt where i will shoot over 150yds. So i found this scope to not offer enough magnification to be useful at long range where a red dot or similar would suffice. The 458 has enough knock down power that if your impact is a tad off it will still destroy a deer.

Got a Leupold VX III 3.5 X 10X 40mm on my BM 450...needless to say ...its' good...I don't see a need for a bullet drop comp. on a 458/450...just is not a 'long range' gun.

Nice scope, wish they still made it with AO

 

[Hunter66]

0 to 200 as far as price range im open on that.
Thanks

 

[Hunter66]

I want to shoot out to 200yrds

My vote is for the Vortex.
Listen to the man (vette) who sells these for a living.
