It will mostly be a scope for hunting out of stands and i would like to start dabbling in some long distance shooting. Seems like the general consensus is between the meopta and the vx 5 or 6. It will be going on a 7mm rem mag so im leaning towards the the adjustable turrets over the reticle holdover.

Stay away from the Leupolds under the MK5 if you intend to dial. I've owned 3 VX5HD's and 2 of the 3 had to go back to Leupold for turret issues. I know I will get downvoted by all the Leupy fanboys on here but for a dialing scope they just don't stand up to it. Their MK5's have a different erector and do dial reliably. Its sad too bc like I've mentioned on here before, if they would get their heads out of their asses and fix their erectors, then the VX5HD 3-15x44 would quite possibly be the perfect hunting scope

Hasn't been mentioned but put a Trijicon Credo 2.5-15-42 on my Savage Ultralight for hunting last season. It's as clear as a VX5 and has illum reticle for $900. It is their new hunting scope line and been very impressed. I killed a deer at 300 yards no problem in January.
