I have become a prairie dog shooting junky, and it takes up a lot of my time from May-September every year. I have been shooting a pair of Cooper model 38's, one in .22 Hornet and the other in .221 Fireball. Both rifles wear identical scopes - Leupold VX-3 LR, 6.5-20x40, with Leupold's Varmint Hunter reticle. The rifles and scopes are fantastic, no issues.
I just built a 6mm BR on a Savage RBLP target action, Shilen Select match barrel, and I pulled the scope off my Fireball to do some load testing. Early results with 65 grn V-Max bullets are sub 1/2 moa. Anyway, it needs its own scope. I have pretty much decided on a Leupold VX-3i 8.5-25x50 with varmint hunter reticle, but I thought I would see if anyone has suggestions on something else that I ought to consider.
So, what say you? Anything else that I should look at?
