Yeah mine has target turrets with the click, feels very nice. My new Leupold vx freedom has nice glass but feels cheap

I found the new model here, it's about $1000 here. We get screwed on goods from the US and I can't easily import a rifle scope to Canada, you need a lot of paperwork and paying duties.

Most gun related stuff seems expensive lately. Just sold a hex reciever mosin for about 500usd. I got it for a fraction of that years ago. Most of the ones I saw were made in China though and I wanted American made. I also had the problem that many newer ones are 30mm tubes but my scope...

Is this for hunting or target shooting ? Big difference. For targets you might want more magnification

Im in canada so everything costs more here. It works out to about 500 usd. I see the same model selling for 6-700 on ebay

So I'm good to keep it? I know Leupold has outstanding warranty.

I bought a used Leupold Vari-X iii 6.5-20x40 scope that is from 1982. The seller made a mistake on the model of scope and I thought i was buying a VX-iii scope from early 2000's. Is this still considered a quality scope? He told me I could return it if I wanted. I'm in a bit of a quandry, he...

i found out someone must have opened up the choke as it measures about .720. so i dont have to worry about shooting slugs. I was surprised as the gun looks original and the barrel is 30" so I doubt its been cut.

I find boxes of buckshot on sale sometimes just need to keep your eyes open. Remington express 00 buckshot was selling here in boxes of 20 for what birdshot can cost.

Your right I'll just leave the gun as is, this way I can safely shoot slugs without worry. I just was curious why the choke was opened up but the consensus seems to be someone probably reamed it open at some point

Well it measures exactly 30" so I assumed it wasn't but I could be wrong, everything looks unaltered with this gun.

I recently got a Winchester model 12 made In 1917 with 30" full choke barrel. The barrel has not been cut back. Pattern testing it doesnt seem like full choke and when I measured the choke it's .720 and a dime easily slides in. Is my choke just worn out? My dad has never seen this on a...

I agree with a classic gun like that, no need to shoot steel unless you are duck hunting and that gun wouldn't be suitable anyways. You want a good choke and 3" shells with steel.

If the barrel has no choke I cant see it being a big issue, the shot is inside a plastic cup to protect the barrel.

Where I camp bears are very common which is why I like to keep some slugs on hand. I dont use them much just in case.
