Hi there,

I am looking at putting a new scope on my .270 Winchester Model 70. I currently have a Simmons WhiteTail that was on there when the gun was handed down to me. I was thinking perhaps a Leupold Vx2. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
 
I just bought a Vortex Diamondack Tactical FFP 6-24x50 for my Model 70 .300wm, but they are also available in 4-12x44. Don't know if it fits your needs but for the price-tag I am impressed. And you can't beat the Vortex warranty.
 
the vx 2 3x9 would be a perfect fit. not too big or heavy. i assume a hunting rifle so nothing too heavy would be on the top of my list. i prefer luep 6x for hunting.

What do you want to do with your new scope?
Hunt deer in the bush or shoot tiny groups in paper at extremely long range or something else?
:confused:

sorry guys, the intended use for the rifle is mule deer hunting. I normally don't shoot anything over 350-400 yards. thanks

The Leupold VX-2 3-9x40 would be perfect for your mule deer hunting if you can track one down. I think the VX-2 line of glass has been replaced with the new Freedom line and I'm not really up on the quality of those.
You could pick up a used VX-2 or even VX-3 on the EE as they are frequently available.
 
Check out the Vx freedom scopes. Awesome price point and they are comparable to what a vx2 is. Essentially they are a vx1 body with vx2 internals and a new lens coating with better light transmission.
