Thanks for that VLD ! I think I would go with what you have 30 mm tube . I should have went with WF,s recommendation in the first place but I totally missed his post last year when I scoped the new Remington 6.5 and went with the
VX3i 3.5 -10 x40mm but now I’m thinking I might want higher magnification and CDS . I won’t be shooting out to 800 that’s for sure LOL !

Just mounted my vx3hd and really liking the windplex reticle over the illuminated heavy duplex.
If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.
They do make the reticle you ask about. It's just not offered on the models you're looking at. It is called a TMOA reticle. If that it was interests you, you could enquire about placing an order with Leupolds custom shop, or check with Korth and see if they will replace the windplex with a TMOA. Either way it will cost a bunch more money.

You are correct, it has been replaced with the VX3HD. So what are you going to use your scope for. The reason I ask is that although I really like the 4.5 x 14, I probably only need a 3.5 x10. It's nice to have the extra power but not necessary. I know cabalas has the VX3i 3.5 x 10 in stock still. The only advantage to the 4.5 x 14 with the 30 mm tube is more magnification and more adjustment range. I read a really good article put out by Leupold dispelling scope misinformation. One of the points was that people think you get more light gathering with a larger tube diameter and this is some what false. Light through the scope is determined by the glass used and by the size of the erector. If you make the erector smaller you effect the exit pupil size and get less light transmission. So to keep the scope as bright as possible while allowing for a greater range of adjustment for distance shooting they increase the main tube diameter. I know you can get caught up in this scope thing, but I can tell you from lots of experience that if you are primarily shooting inside 500 Yds a 3.5 x 10 is all the scope you need. Hope this helps
Thanks for the information VLD . I’m somewhat informed but have a lot to learn as well. I just think the more magnification would be better as I have the VX3i 3.5 - 10 x 40mm with 30mm tube on the rifle now .
My apologies to Precision not trying to derail your thread !
