New Ruger 77 in .300 Win. mag. needs glass. Usage will be deer hunting here in NY under 200yds. Maybe up to 350 yds. if out West. Always had good luck with Leupold; not so much with others. I reload and will reload for this rifle.
Right now the contenders are VX-2 3-9x40, VX-3 3.5-10x40, and VX-3 2.5-8x36; all Leupold. Favoring the VX-2 at this point due to price, online reports, and the fact that I'm not super picky.
So the questions are:
1) Are these good choices for the given applications?
2) Would I see significant advantage in going VX-3 over VX-2?
3) Has anyone had any fit or eye-relief issues with these scopes using Ruger standard rings on the long-action Ruger 77?
Thanks,
Bob
