    I will be doing the same, someone talked me out of fitting my heavy spare NF and into having a turret changed on my spare VX 3 same as above.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    +1 for the vx3 4.5- 14. good allrounder, or even better 2-12 vx 6 or perhaps 3-18 vx6 if the wallet can handle it.

    What do you think of this scope mate?
    Have been thinking of getting one since I seen them on their web site as it has all the features I'm looking for in one

    Hi @Dreamer, I actually have a third one, a PST 6-24X50 on my 7mm mag varmint that I want to put exclusive to long range. So far the scope has been great to me, nice eye relive, clear glass, a bit "bulky" and for the features "heavier" than the traditional hunting scopes, but, this few hundreds grams of weight don't bother me at all.
    Have dial few long shots and the turrets track nicely and "precise" if you have your ballistics sorted.
    Overall, I love my scopes and if you don't need a illuminated reticle, just stick with the HS-T as the PST is A BIT more expensive.

    Drop me a PM if you have any more questions.

    All the best

    Got a Burris 4.5-14x42 C4. dials to 1000m fine and holds zero. Low profile turrets etc etc. Cheap and works well.
