Rifle scope for 7mm

[vegasjeep]

I purchased a Remington 7mm last hunting season and like everything, you do not get around to thinking about it till you are getting it out to hunt with.

 

Well aside from the gun being really nice and I have shot two bullets through it to say I shot it, I have not mounted a scope on to it as of yet. LOL!!!

 

I have been thinking about a Leupold VX-L 4.5-14-50mm with a boone and crockett rectical.

 

 

I have seen these for under $800 bucks

Seems that the newer version of this scope is now the VX3L

now my question is, Is this a great scope for the money? What other scopes in this price range would anyone suggest that will provide the same quality, clarity, and function as this Leupold. I currently have had a Leupold VXII on my 30-06 and have loved it.

Go with Leupold. You wont be dissapointed. Thats what i have on my 7mm. Use good mount and rings too.

I have lots of Leupold scopes and really like them but I wanted to try the Zeiss Conquest with the 800 Z for my 300WSM. I will be shooting it on my unit 33 Nov 27 WT hunt.

I had that model Leupy for a while, nice scope and I loved the B&C reticle, but I did notice a bit of parallax issue around 800-900 yards.

I switched to a Falcon Menace First Focal Plane (ffp) and have never been happier.

My 7mm loves it!

 

Falcon @ great price here

I have a Leupold scopes. Its one of the best scope out there. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a Nikon scope either, both scope company's offer long range capability. At my age I don't notice parallax issue. I sent my scope off and had a custom rectical installed long before they came out with these new ones like Boone and Crockett rectical by Leupold. If you plan on shooting pass 600 yards I would go with Lee dot and a Leuplod scope. Just my thoughts

There are many good choices when it comes to scopes. A lot of people really love the Zeiss Conquest, Vortex is really making a name for them selves and are very reasonably priced, Nikon has a good fallowing and of course then you have the Swaroski.

 

But for me I am a Leupold man. Their customer service is second to none, great quality, very clear, oh and they are AMERICAN MADE. These days I am looking to keep all my money here in the states. Now I know there is better optics out there but if you look at all the different factors the Leupold is hard to beat IMO.

Burris!!! Signature Series,

+1 on the vx-L with b/c reticle. I have two of the exact scope and like them both a ton. One is on a 300 wsm, and the other on a 270 wsm. Other than a Swarovski, I would not put anything else on them.

I have Lupys, Nikons, and couple of Zeiss Rapid Z 800's. The Zeiss scopes are absolutely the clearest scopes I've ever owned, even compared side by side with the Swaro's my buddy has. Lupy used to be American made but now almost all of their glass (as well as most other mfg's) is made it the South Pacific. Even the last Nikon I got was made in the Asia! For a good price, I usually order them from www.theopticzone.com. If you call them, they will tell you the actual price which is usually quite a bit lower than the internet price. JMHO!

Bringing this thread back up as I finally have gotten around to putting this bad boy together.

 

The stock is a Boyds Featherweight, the Bipod is a Harris and the scope will be a Leupold VX3L. I cannot get over great customer service from Leupold!

 

I also ordered a Timney trigger which is suppose to be DYNAMITE on the Remington 700

 

What do you think?

 

This thing will be finally ready for some deer slaying this year.... and Elk too!!

I would at least check out the Zeiss conquest with a rapid z recticle. I didn't do much researd on Leupold and have not shot one so I can't really compare. What I can say is I don't have any buyers regret when it comes to my rapid z.

I looked through both and both ere equal in clarity. I liked both but love leupold customer service

One more for Leupold. I have the 4.5 to 14 x50 mm VX3L CDS on my BAR. I just ordered the free dial and should have it in a couple weeks. Nice looking rifle you are building up there.

I have to agree with leupold and their customer service is top of the line.... but recently after shooting my bro's 7mm with the new Vortex I would definitely recommend a look ....
