Thread: Best euro optics available

Ok so thinking of putting a few things on the chopping block e.g nightforce scope and barnard 338edge plus a few other scopes and just getting a couple of good ones.

Firstly, i have a forbes 308 and currently has a cheap scope on it, looking at upgrading. What i want is a low bottom end e.g 3 or under and a top end of 10 or up. Don't want to put a tank on it as its a light rifle. Ideally i want something with a 5x+ mag increase. A vx6 2-12 ($1100 USD) seems obvious but have heard a few problems and maybe not quite what im after. Other option is a Leica 2.5-10x42 ($1,600 USD) or maybe a Z5 3.5-18 but seems a bit big and overkill for the 308. What else is out there in the sub $2000 USD range?

Secondly, I want to upgrade the glass on my 300wsm (this might also get rebarreled to 7mm wsm). Currently have a bushy 6500 on it but would like a wee upgrade. I think a 3-16x44mm vx6 would suit this quite well? Don't want to spend as much on this one.

Cheers for suggestions
