I am going to replace the old scope on my Remington 700 .30/'06 and my first inclination is to stick with a duplex reticle, thinking hard about a Leupold VX-III. This rifle is typically a deer rifle, hunting from an elevated blind. So from that perspective the Leupold should work fine.
However, I am going to hunt in Africa next year and I intend to use this rifle on plains game. What I hear and read is that my shots will likely average 150 yards and in. The important aspect is getting on target and breaking a shot quickly. That makes me think an AccuPoint like the TR20 3-9x40 with the post and triangle would be a good choice. I fondled one at a shop and liked it, and have read some favorable reviews, but I don't personally know anyone who has hunted with one.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
