So I cleaned out the safe and decided to put the leupold VX 3 back on the 6mm.
its a 6,5-20x50.
I need to get three whitetail this year to feed the family so this is the most important tool I have at the moment.
No need to skimp.
Not a bad choice because the field of view at 6x is still pretty decent for in close. Just because you have 20x doesn't mean you have to use it. Somewhere in the middle is "just right".
