Hey guys,

 I'm looking for some help with choosing a scope for a Sako 300 WSM.  I'm considering a Zeiss VM/V 3-10X50 #56 varipoint and a Swaro 4-16X50 TDS-4.  I'm leading towards the Swaro.  Rifle will be used for whitetail deer hunting and several other out West Hunts.  Any input is greatly appreciated!

They are both great scopes and you could not go wrong with either one. If you are going to be doing some long range shooting the Swarovski 4-16x50 with the TDS reticle would be the scope I would go with.

I agree with Sniper.

I like the Vari-point dot reticle, but NOT for going out West to shoot long range. Here in Carolina the Vari-point would be a great choice.

 

I'd go Zeiss, with a differant reticle. 

If I went with the Swaro, I would probably go with the A-Line series and the TDS.

 

Both scopes are outstanding, as stated. 

 

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.
