Looking into getting a weatherby vanguard in a .338 win mag sometime this year no matter but do I want to buy one with part of my tax return or to buy a new leupold mark AR 4-12x40 mil dot for my AR. Any ideas? |

please call it a "refund" please.
I vote for the nice optic unless you plan to sight in the .338 on a bear. __________________

Pardon me..do you have any reason why you'd go with the optic particularly? | |

Buy whatever you think you will want to use more often.
I'm going to get all the parts I need to build a 458 SOCOM Bolt Action with my refund.
A new Action,Bolt,McGowen barrel,Stock,etc.. |

Well, i would think the AR would get more use in the non-hunting or less-hunting part of the year we are approaching. If you would use the .338 for target practice rather than hunting, then it might be fun for the summer too.
I also think that if you are shooting a projectile in the .22 caliber range, you want to make very precise shots to get the job done, regardless of your target (except balloons). __________________

I haven't had an income tax refund in years. I have always had to pay in. I retired last year. My gross income went way down. I was very surprised to find that this year I am going to get a refund. I guess that I am now in a different tax bracket. Anyway, I am going to buy a Marlin XL7 in .25-06 with some of it and the rest will go in my savings account.
Spend your money wisely my friend, but please, do buy what you want.

I'd get a Trijicon ACOG for your AR. (I have three of them on my three ARs.  ) __________________

Haha if only. I wish I could, but my refund isn't that big of one. The reason I chose these two are because thanks to my job, I get 50% off leupold and like 35 or so off of weatherby which is what I was gonna get the .338 in was a vanguard | |

If you get a discount on Leupold, then by all means get one. But if it's going on an AR, take a hard look at the 1.5-6 instead of a higher power. I think you'll find that at 1.5 power, target acquisition is lightning fast on those close up shots, and at 6X you'll have more than adequate power for longer ranges. __________________
