Guys first of all, I only use Leupold scopes, I bought my first Sightron SII scope a few weeks ago and it's a 24X44 AO target.
I bought a SWFA 16X Mrad as I heard good things about SWFA SS for the money as some long range guys in the US are using them as there budget scope still an SWFA landed here is about $575 cdn.
I have the FX3 6x42 as a spare scope which is just sitting. So hence the question. I won't use Bushnell, Nikon, Simmons, BSA, Tasco, Vortex & Weaver products just don't like them Period!!!!!
I asked the question as I wanted to know if the 6x will do the job & what is most used for gophers it seem that a variable 4-12 AO would be most used.
note: I do have a 4-12 Vortex Diamondback BDC which I got on a rifle package a few weeks ago. but that is going bye-bye do to it being a Vortex. if I only have a $50 gun I still wouldn't put a Vortex or Bushnell on it.
