I'm trying to decide on a scope for a new 17 Rem rifle that will be used for predators mostly and a roaming ground squirrel gun sometimes out to 300 yards. Not a bench gun or range gun.
I've decided on a new Leupold VX-3 in 3.5-10x40 or 4.5-14x40 with or without AO. I will send it in to get the fine LRV reticle.
The 3.5-10x fits my needs as a predator gun, but the 4.5-14x would be better for ground squirrels. Problem is I don't want to mess with an AO on a calling gun, period. I don't shoot past 300 yards very often so I doubt an AO will really benefit me. The accuracy nut inside me says otherwise... Advice?
