scope reccomendations

[2308500]

looking to put a 4-12x 40 scope on a weatherby vanguard 300 weatherby mag. would like to have the best optics/quality with a "longer" eye relief what comes to mind, under 500 bucks

I go for used leupolds - vx111 $350-$450 range or vx11 for up to $300
Small marks don't matter to me and leupolds have lifetime transferable warranty
Also one of the best eye relief

Hopefully there's no clones of the older models

This. There to s a ton of value in the used VX3 scopes from Leupold.

Northpro has a sale on the Sig Whiskey3 that I am trying to find a reason to buy another rifle to pick up this scope. Worth a look: http://northprosports.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=9156&search=whiskey

With a serial number and picture of the serial number area Leupold will confirm if it is a genuine and Canadian import compliant.
Not hard for them to confirm it, at least from my experiences.

In that price range, nikon monarch 3 fits the bill. Not sure if they can be had under $500 but wont be much over

Vortex Diamond back HP and Diamondback AO would also be worth a look. I've been into Bushnell as well. Elite 3500 can still be found and the 4-12X40 is a nice unit. I prefer the multi X over the DOA 600.

Get a Leupold for eye relief. Vortex glass is beautiful but their eye relief isn't much. Bushnell glass quality doesn't compare even on their 6500 line. Nikon Monarch 3 is really nice glass but not sure what the eye relief is.

Hawke Endurance IER (intermediate Eye Relief) Had one on a 204 cant tell you if it would stand up to recoil of a 300 weatherby mag.

Leupold vx3i 3.5-10x40 can be had for a good price if you keep an eye out for them.

Nikon prostaff 4x12x40, have one on an Enfield for the last two years. No complaints, great glass for $300.

Wound up putting on a Leupold freedom 4-12 x 40. awesome and also gained some eye relief for those awkward positioned shots that were too close to the eyebrow for comfort
