Just got a steal on a new Weatherby Vanguard. I have a Leupold 2-7x33 on my 10/22.If I put it on my .243 how do you think it will do ? Or should I pony up for a new scope with more magnification ?

What is your budget?  Ranges you plan on shooting realistically or in a typical yote range where you hunt? That will help decide.

You'd want to put another scope on the Ruger which means buying a new one anyway, right? Big Smile

Right now I have a scope already.I was wondering how well it would do.Or should I just wait and save money for a new one and leave my leupold on my 22.I plan on shooting them as close as they will let me.Preferably rite between the eyes.Whacko

Do you have a budget you can spend now? If not I'd say leave the leo on the 22 and save for the new one.  It will give you a goal and you can still shoot your 22 til then.
