Help with first scope

it's a fine scope. what's it going on

Tikka t3 270. I’m a little hesitant on pulling the trigger and buying it because it’s $150 cheaper than I can find anywhere else and would hate to have just overlooked a feature.

Two more good choices......

Great scope. I heard midway was having a big sale on leupold. Your second link has little higher magnification.

Another stupid question, what would be good rings? Should I just go with Leupold rings also?

For an extra $150, you can buy a Leica 2-10X50 ER5 from Eurooptic. Better optics and it is on sale from $1k. So you are spending $500 for a $1000 scope. That is what I am buying in the next couple of days to go on top of my new .308.

$348 is a pretty good deal on a VX III.

Also, just my opinion here, don't feel like you absolutely have to have a 50mm scope.
40mm can be mounted lower to the rifle where your check has a better fit to the stock.

I have the vx3 3.5-10x40 and that thing is sweet as all hell. Can't go wrong with the leupold.

Seems like the bare minimum scope people buy nowadays is a 3-9x40. I know some folks who won't buy anything with an objective smaller than 50mm. Personally for a woods gun hunting medium to large game around here I love a good 32-36mm scope like this. Smaller. Lighter. Cleaner lines with the rifle. Lower scope over bore height. I'll make the bold claim that more people have lost game due to over magnification than under magnification in our Alabama woods.
