I have a pile of Leupolds and several VX 111`s, and love them. You first thought. though, is why do you want so much magnification for a hunting rifle that will only shoot to less than 500 yrds? I have taken deer with a 2 1/2 X Leuopld at 289 yrds, lazered, with not lack of sighting. I would highly recomand you save a few bucks and get a VX 111 in 3 1/2 X 10. The 3 1/2 mag. will serve you better on those closer shots.
