Leupold ER/T 6.5x20 TMR M5 FFP
Leupold ER/T 4.5x14 TMR M5 FFP

Either will do everything you listed for the price you listed.

If you have a hard time finding one at a "great" price send me IM.

IM sent.

This past summer I picked up a Leupold VX-3 Long Range Target Rifle Scope from MidwayUSA for use on my custom Mosin target rifle. It's got a 30mm tube, 6.5-20x, 50mm objective, and side focus. I went with the Leupold varmint hunters reticle, but there are other reticles offered, too.

I went with a set of Leupold's medium 30mm QRW rings. May have been able to go with the low rings… but they work.

The VX-3 is a pretty solid scope and it comes in several different configurations. I've not had a chance to shoot this rifle beyond 300 yards yet, but so far I've been nothing but extremely pleased with everything about this scope. I had looked at Nightforce and a few others, but this Leupold seemed to offer the most bang for the buck and didn't break the bank along the way.

Cheers,

I got a VX3 on my LR-308. Very pleased with it.

I really like the TMR rectical, Easy Ranging and Easy adjustment with M5 Turrents. The fine lines allow you to get a much cleaner read on things and the small spaceing at the edge of each plane is broken down into .20 mills to get you that much closer.

This is a great pic showing the capabiltys of the TMR.

With Leupold you have to pay attention what turrents you get with what rectical you order, they mix and match.
M1 are .25 MOA per click
M2 are .5 MOA per click
M3 are 1 MOA per click Elevation, .5 MOA per click Windage
M5 are .1 MILL per click

Vortex Viper 6-24x50. Don't own one but I have used one and been impressed. Price was very good for the quality.

Not in stock but you can see the specs.
