Sorry... another post asking which scope. I've been doing some research and trying to figure out which direction to take. I have a savage model 111 in 25-06 on order and want to put some good glass on it. The gun will mainly be used for deer hunting with shots up to 250 maybe a little farther. I want my budget to be around $450. I've looked at the higher end Nikon Prostaffs and a few Monarchs, Leupold VX-2,and VX-3. I'm sure you guys can push me in a direction. I looked through a VX-2 4-14-=x50 and liked it but didn't get a chance to compare it to anything else. I also don't think I want a 50mm tube either. I have an older 3-9x40 Prostaff that has held up pretty well but heard the newer ones weren't quite as good. Can you guys recommend a scope and bases?
