This is a follow up to a previous thread. Looking for a scope for a short action Browning BLR, (7mm-08, 308 or 358) and would like a lightweight option that has a very flexible eye box for quick target acquisition. Scope will be used for deer hunting with most shots in the 50-100 yard range with occasional shots out to 300 yards.
I think I've rounded it down to these two Leupolds but I'm open to other suggestions.
Is there a big real world difference between these two? On paper, the VX2 is lighter, better FOV, more consistent eye relief between 2 and 7x and is $100 cheaper.
The $100 isn't a major concern but I'm wondering if the VX3 is justified in this case. My biggest priority is that the scope is flexible to head position and it provides for a quick and clean view. Second priority would be that the scope is sufficiently bright for deer hunting 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset.
Again, these are just two options so if you can think of other options in the $500 or less range, I'm open.
Thank you in advance,
Mike
