Hello everyone,
I have been in the market to upgrade a scope on my primary hunting rifle. The rifle is a Remington 700 sendero SFII, it’s more so built to be a long range rifle. I currently have a leupold VX3 3.5-10x on the rifle. I am going out west for a mule deer hunt in October, my guide told me I should be ready to potentially take a shot out to 5-600 yards. I wanted toupgrade my scope to something with elevation adjustment and have been thinking about just using my vortex razor hd gen 2. The vortex is currently on a Sako Trg 6.5 cm. I have spent more time behind that scope than any others and am very comfortable and familiar with it. I just don’t know if it is the ideal option for the hunt. My concern is the fact that it is FFP and potentially having a shorter shot and not being able to really visualize the reticle on low power with lower light.
Do any of you hunt with the vortex 4.5-27x? If so what are your experience/thoughts?
Should I just buy something new that is more suited for the job? If so, then what should I consider.
