I have Redfield and Japanese TASCO on my rimfire rifles and they are OK but the Leupold is a big step above for glass clarity and simple but crisp reticle. Cost is around the $1000 mark but a good scope is something you should be able to have for a long long time without needing to replace it. This scope is also VERY GOOD at night when spotlighting.
I bought a Bushnell and sold it within a year, the reticle was so thick it seemed to block the critical part of what I was trying to shoot.
NOIA TV did a comparison between 4 scopes to see how they performed in low light - because sometimes ur out there at the crack of dawn or late into the day. Leupold and Meopta came out best out of the 4. Swarovski and Zeiss didn't fair so well....

I'm looking at putting a 3.5-10X44 on my T1X when I get it. Having said that I still plan on looking through some scopes when I'm down at the store and seeing what tickles my fancy.

I just bought a meopro 6-18x50 from Tamworth firearms, haven't mounted it yet, but it certainly looks good. It's going on a Howa varmint .223

I have the exact scope on my 6.5 Manbun. It is a great bit of kit. You won’t regret the purchase mate.

TT You said it was a vx2 as in a 4-12 but the article says 3.5-10 which is a vx3 so I'm lost a bit ........ now I have seen through a z3 and no way a vx2 will be as good as a vx2

I’m confused as well now - “no way a vx2 will be as good as a vx2”??
For clarification -The article refers to a vx3 vs a Z3.
I said from memory the article said... - and my memory ain’t what it used to be...so I dug through 50 mags and dug out the article - cause I wanted to clarify. I thought you might have had some real world experience with Your comment re “I doubt a vx2 would be anywhere near a swarkovski” well...what swarkovski? Or did you mean any swarkovski?
My understanding is that the diff between vx2 and Vx3 is a 1% increase in light gathering ability, custom turret selection, more reticle choice and more robust internals. So not really a huge visual difference in real world light at least.
I’ve looked through some top end swarks including z8I and various z5’s and they are good, very good - but I’m not convinced they are triple the $$$ better...?? I haven’t looked in a Z3 as yet. It seems to me that swarkovski is known as a premium European brand name and whilst you’ll get a fantastic product, you’ll also pay a lot for that name on the side?

No sure what you are saying Bill. I did say that if you compare a $600 scope to a $1200 scope and can't justify the extra money. Why stop there, compare a $250 scope to a $600 scope and you may conclude that you don't get much more for your money.
For me, I bought a Nightforce Competition series scope, if someone beats me using a $600 Leupold I will then consider that I wasted my money.. I was using a cheaper scope but was beaten by Nightfoce users. I thought if I couldn't beat them I would join them.
