I recently acquired a very lightly used, as in less than 30 rounds fired, 300 Winchester Mag. Remington model 700SPS Stainless. The prior owner kept the scope for another rifle. It has Weaver bases already mounted. I may or may not use them. I’m looking at two Leupold scopes. A VX-Freedom 4-12X40 and a
VX-3I 4.5-14X40. Curious to know if the 3I is really such a better scope for the price vs the Freedom. Don’t mind spending the extra money if it’s worth it for clarity or low light enhancement. The rifle may see some hunting use in West Virginia where I do have the opportunity for some long shots. Aside from that, the possibility of a western hunt in a few years.
