Hey guys.
I'm planning on putting some new glass on a deer rifle. it's a Ruger M77 Hawkeye, chambered in .308win. I own a Vortex Viper HS-T, that I've had on a target rifle for a few years now, and am pretty happy with it, but I'm wondering what their lower end glass is like?
I've typically stuck to Leupold's VX-2 line, but they've replaced that (as well as the VX-1) now with the VX-Freedom. I'm not yet sure what to think of these scopes yet, so figured I'd look at other options. I've read a lot of good about the Vortex Diamondback lineup, so was wondering if anyone has some first hand experience with these and how they stack up against a Leupod VX-2 or Zeiss Terra 3x scopes.
Also open to other options, my budget is up to about $600
Thank you for the input
