Thread: Scope ideas?

Evening gents.

I know this is forever covered after scrolling through the many threads however I am after some advice on three particular scopes.

Like many who do bush hunting, I've got a cheap but trusty 3x9 VX Freedom. Nothing fancy but has done the trick plenty of times and does it well in the bush. However pretty keen to extend the legs on some animals on the odd occassion and have had plenty of offers to go out with mates however not overly comfortable shooting 300+ with what I have.

Had a good yarn with the lads at H&F palmy today, budget $1300 max at this stage and love the idea of CDS which is when they advised me the Burris Sig now also do a CDS of their own and rated it higher that the VX3 and pretty close the VX5 however performs slightly less in lower light only marginally and for the price, that got me interested.

I have narrowed it down to the 3 at this stage after spending some time in and out of the shop with them and now after the opinion of those who have used them:

- VX3i 3.5x10
- Burris Sig 2x10x40
- Burris Sig 3x15x44

Bearing in mind it will be used 80% bush, 20% tops (ruahines/Kaimanawas and the odd trip down south).
