Last night about 530pm I took a ride past the hunt club and noticed 3 deer in the corn field next door. I had a Nikon prostaff 2-7-33 sitting in the passenger seat and the deer were maybe 150yards away and all I could tell was the buck was wide and tall I would guess 150'' but couldn't get a clear picture. Tonight I go shoot and take my Marlin 1895 that's wearing a Leupold Vx2 2-7-33 and the deer came back out again at the same distance. It was around 5-520 eastern time so the daylight is fading fast! I was able to see the bucks eyes, throat patch, points, brown tines, etc like he was 10ft away! I was trying to get him to lift his head so I whistled really loud and he took off to about 400yards so playing around with an empty rifle and the scope I leveled it on a table and could still see him as clear as if he was 100yards away!
I always snubbed at higher end scopes because we only get 5 days for deer gun here in Ohio so I always purchased Prostaffs cause I couldn't justify $300 for one weeks use! I got a super deal on this VX2 for about $150 so I had to jump on it and I'm glad I did! I have to say from now on my rifles will wear at minimum a VX2!
