    If you were taking most of your shots at 100-400m+ then I'd say go for the 3-15.

    I really wish Leupold still did the firedot windplex reticle, it in the 2-10 would be awesome, unfortunately they dropped it when they went to the VX6hd.
    +1 windplex firedot is the dream

    I got a price from another forum member who had been in touch with the aforementioned supplier but need to confirm that. Was alot cheaper than the green bandits by a a fair chunk but will see if that price is still valid and if we can improve

    I run a 2-10 on my 308.

    The clarity and lack of weight makes up for the lack of magnification.

    I had a crack at a goat out of my 308 at 605y.

    Landed the bullet right at his feet.

    Did I feel undergunned optically? Hell no.

    What a scope! Would happily buy another !
