Building my "hunter class" silhouette rifle and now focusing on optics. This rifle will also be used for Pronghorn and longer range Coyote. In the past I used a 4x16 AO Sightron and liked it, but wanted a little more magnification. I figure no less than 6x for hunting, and at least 20x for Rams and Turkeys. The Vari III 6.5x20x looks like the ticket.

Thoughts?

You will want one with target turrets of course.I used a 6,5 x 20 EFR for 10 years[small bore] mine had a large dot from Premier Reticles .Since our small bore sillywett died out I moved the scope over to my varmint rifle and changed the reticle to the varmint hunter. Mine has always tracked fine, others have reported problems. Some like the Weaver t-16 ,and t-24 I owned both of these also, but felt they were not as bright as the Leupold.

I had one on my antelope gun, changed that rifle to 4.5X - 14X and put the 6.5X-20X on a .22 RF target gun, now used for benchrest. Nice scope.

I own several scopes cheap too High dollar of almost everybody's brand .

Look through a Nikon side by side with Leupold see any difference ?. I didn't and the Nikon has does everything that Leupold does for less money !.

I liked the New Nikon Monarch Gold series so much I bought 2 , so far my targets show the results . Hard to beat Nikon for the Money in my opinion .
