Good 300 yard Scope for Rem 700 22-250

You sure about that? Scroll to the bottom of the link, that is what I have. I was given the box and all it's contents and I called Leupold to verify the SN. The Leupold rep informed me that I have an 07 model.

Now about the FFP, not sure, but I don't think I have that on this scope. How can I tell if it does have the FFP?

It does have a side focus, is that the same as FFP?

VX3's don't come FFP.

If it has FFP, then your reticle will magnify along with the image when you turn the magnification ring up...

Thanks, I haven't had a chance to see what all the scope can do, so I wasn't sure. I'll bring the instruction book and try out all the features once I have it mounted atop the gun and sighting it in at the range.

Leupy didn't offer FFP and illumination they might now in their newer MK6 stuff but I ain't dropping 3,000 on a scope if I did it would be a Premier, S&B or Zeiss Hendersolt.

Last time I read anything on USO they used Schott glass as well, I like the fact you can call them up and order a scope to your specs that's made in America.

I've heard good things about the USO (U.S. Optics) scopes as well as the IOR's...

They have some newer tactical marketed scopes that are around 3 and go up a bit from there, they were listed in the new midway catalog I was kinda surprised. Another scope I've been wanting to try is IOR they are said to have amazing glass, which they should since they buy schott which is owned by Zeiss.

Yea my phone doesn't do German so i had to wing it with my piss poor spelling.

Last time I checked any adjustable target scope from Hensoldt is going to set you back around 10k.

Hensoldt But yeah, right there with you. My G3 had a Hensoldt scope, sold it for a red dot.

My VXIII is illuminated.

Like I said I wasn't sure. None of them are front focal plane though, or at least none of them were offered with them when I was in the market.

I use a Nikon 6-18x40 Buckmaster, no BDC. You can get a custom turret for your ammo from Nikon. Great scope for the money.

A Vortex PST is no NF optically, but it matches in in adjustment and dependability/quality. The Vortex gathers the same light as my Leupold VXIII, on the tall end it has a little CA, but it's very easy to make out .223 impacts at 200 yards, no spotting scope required (and .223 impacts are small as shit). I also like the illuminated reticle (something neither NF and Leupold don't offer if I'm not mistaken).

I know. I'm just stating my experience with glare and all those scopes I've used. The leupolds are the only ones I've used that hadn't had a horrible glare at sunset hours while facing the sun. The others were 40 obj. The leupolds just happen to be 50 obj.

I'm sure It's the difference in coatings, I know there is a major jump in coatings on the Bushnell Elite 4200's compared to the lesser 3200 series.
