What scope to get

[Dave]

Dave so what is in the rifle now? Some of the factory glass has been Nikon BDC, and for brightness I like them.

Cheap Simmons scope, 3-9x40. I'm looking at mid range scopes I can keep a while and some rings that will hold it steady. Down the road I'm looking at a bull barrel swap out as the barrel it has is their lighter profile for some reason, which causes that mag round to kick the shoulder like a mule. Some other places said with a mag round they trust the Leupold better, and with the CDS I can call their customer service and get swappable adjustment knobs for the caliber and bullet weight I am using.

Going to have to research the Vortex though, for $150 less it sounds good, but I have been bitten before trying to save a few bucks and getting something crappy and wasting money and time. The Weaver GS is also covered under my b-day pricing at Midway right now.
