What riflescope would You used and why ?

[Andrzej]

I have a couple of rifles in 7 STW custom on rem 700 with Gaillard SS barrel, Sako 75 SS and Sako Finnlite in 7 Rem Mag.(will likely rechamber to 7 STW).

I have 3 Leupold scopes and problem how to match them to those rifles.

Leupold VX-L 4.5x14-56 LR side paralax focus 30 mm
Leupold LPS 3.5x14-52 AO 30 mm
Leupold VXIII 4.5x14-40 AO 1 inch tube

Leupold again and again and again

But I did Purchase a Shepherd 618 V1a for my new 300wsm and at this time it is doing exactly what they claim I am impressed check them out the system is working to 800 yards for me at this time and I think the quality of the optics although not as good as Leupold are quite good a little less clarity but the one shot zero concept is bang on just google Shepherd scopes and check it out!

Leupold is the sure thing, safe and conventional but Shepherd is neat and time will tell.

DB,

where did you buy your Shepherd scope? I have seen the reviews of this scope at cableas and peole are saying that you can shoot a deer up to 700 yards???

I'm very patial to IOR Valdadas and have had several over the years.
at this time I have a 6-36X long range, and a 4x hunting scope.
I've had stright 10's, 3-18Xtacticals, and have shot most of the models.
Great scopes and good service from Hirsch precision in Nova Scotia.

The way I read it, he already has the scopes. He wants to know which scope to match to which rifle.

Considering they are all pretty similar in magnification I would look at each rifle and decide what they will be used for. IE the rifle that will be used for sitting in a stand and not be packed around much can get the heaviest scope with the biggest objective to gather the last bits of light available. The rifle you plan on packing should probably get the 1" tubed scope with the 40mm objective.
