I'm currently the proud owner of a like new Rem 700 classic in 350 Rem mag or at least my wife is since I'm currently deployed and she bought it for me. Now I'm trying to decide on which scope would be best for the Rem 700 in 350 Rem Mag. I've narrowed it down to the VX-III in 2.5-8X36, the VX-III 1.5-5X20, the VX-II Ultralight in 2-7X28, or the VX-I in 2-7X33. If anyone has experience or opinions on/with these scopes I would appreciate any info. I know the 350 is not a long range cartridge so I have decided on the mid-range magnifications, but I would still like decent magnification for testing handloads with it. All scopes will have a gloss finish and duplex reticule. I do not want to remove the factory sights from the barrel on it. Any help is appreciated.
