I take it that's the revolution? I can get a vx2 for about $150 so thinking that's the right route.

Yes, that is a Revolution. If you can get the VX2 for $150, get it now! If you know where I can get one for $150, let me know and next time I post a pic of this rifle it will be wearing one.

I don't have any other scopes on my deer rifles but Leupold VX-2, 3-9X. If you're in the woods, in low light and have to see antlers, it's the clearest scope for the money. I bought mine at Optics Planet and it was a great price.

We don't often shoot at 9X, but it's great for spotting antlers. In my blind, where I see deer from 20 to 400 yards, I often keep it at 6 or 7x, then turn it up, as needed to see antlers.

Redfield 3-9 x50 for me. Man that scope rocks and with the 50 more light is let in for the higher power

you wont be able to get one for that price unless you have a rewards points credit card like I do. . I just use my rewards points card until it gets a lot of cash back and then use it for large purchases to bring the price down.

Optics planet is about $230 for the vx2.
