I am putting together a lightweight rifle to hunt whitetails in Idaho. It's a Remington M700 LVSF 7mm-08. I'm putting Talley lightweight rings on it and I want to put a lightweight compact scope on it. I'm thinking about a Leupold VXII 2-7x33 and a Nikon Monarch 2-7x32. Is one significantly better than the other? Also, where would be a good place to purchase one? Thanks in advance for any info. | ||

A lot of my clients with custom built lightweight rifles have Leupold 2-7's on them. I'm sure some others will have better advice on where to get a deal than me.

The optics zone has them. I don't know if its the best price but they have free shipping and some free goodies for leupold orders over 300. -------------------- THANOS WAS RIGHT! | |||

Either one is a great scope. But if you buy and sell or trade a good deal stay with Leupold as they hold there value better in my opinion. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Both the older Vari-X II 2-7x28 and the later IIc 2-7x33 have given me excellent service on a number of rifles. I have a 33mm mounted on a (too light) .375 H & H and it takes the punishment in stride. I see no reason that the VX-II successor shouldn't be just as serviceable. In fact, you could save eighty or a hundred bucks and go with the VX-I and do as well, provided you're not married to "click" adjustments. | |||

for what its worth you might be better served with a fixed 4. It would shave some oz and plenty functinal up here. (or a 6x if you are hunting the desert) | |||

A compact light wieght scope? Nobody metioned burris shortmag scopes? Those would work well. Well polish my balls and serve me a milkshake! | |||
