Vortex 4-16x42mm Diamondback HP?

[notchfir3]

I need to replace a scope on my Savage .300 win mag and I'm thinking about going with a Vortex 4-16x42mm Diamondback HP. Does anyone have any experience with this particular model? I'm thinking I'd like to stay within the $400-$500 price range and the VIP warranty Vortex offers is appealing. The area I elk hunt each year is fairly thick. My longest shot in this area is usually around 300 or 400 yards. I've read some very basic reviews of this scope on other sites and would appreciate any first hand knowledge. Thanks

Do you plan on dialing for either practice or hunting purposes?
