Project rifle is a Tikka T3x 6.5 Creedmoor that will be cut back to 16.5” and wear a Banish Backcountry 5.5” suppressor.
Goal is a hunting rifle from wooded areas to ag fields 0-350 yards.
Lightweight and maneuverability is paramount.
Two scopes:
3.5-10x40 Leupold VX3HD 13.5 ozs
3-18x50 Zeiss Conquest V6 22.3 ozs
Clearly the Conquest V6 is superior mechanically and optically, but it’s almost 10 ozs more and this rifle will not see much dialing.
The VX3HD is good but the image isn’t as clear as the V6.
What would you choose for a lightweight, short deer rifle?
