    Leupold Vari-X still good today?

    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...

    Finally got a Ruger American Ranch in .450 Bushmaster ....

    I've had a Bushmaster AR15 in .450 Bushmaster for quite a few years but finally got around to getting a Ruger American Ranch rifle too. I could have chosen the Go Wild Camo model with the burnt bronze Cerakote finish and 22" barrel but the 16" barrel will work better with the SilencerCo Hybrid...

    Leupold VX3HD VS VX5HD

    Does anyone know the difference in the Leopold VX3HD and the VX5HD scopes? From what I can tell look though them, the glass seems to be the same. Crisp, clear from edge to edge.

    I got a new .22LR from Bergara ... the BXR001 and it sure shoots great.

    Yesterday afternoon I received a new Bergara BXR001 with the heavy stainless steel barrel. I've had a Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40mm FFP TMR mil/mil scope in the safe for a while so got that mounted this morning in the lowest 30mm rings I have on hand. I plan on using this rifle as a low cost...

    Reduced Speed .223 Loading - Test Target

    When I picked up my new CZ527FS in .223, I decided I wanted to try downloading some rounds for shooting steel plates at 50 yards. While we await snow-out to set-up the steel range in the woods, I figured it was a good time to start experimenting with loads. Short story: it didn't take much...

    Marlin 336BL Gets New Eyes

    I hesitate to post this after reading through the "Scout Rifle" thread below, but I'll go ahead and dive in anyway. Nobody ever said self-preservation was one of my strongest points... :eek: This is a JM-stamped Marlin 336BL I purchased not long before the Remington takeover and factory move...

    Short Scope on a Remington 700 Long Action

    Welcome to Friday all. I've recently come into possession of a synthetic Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. It's an early J-lock rifle with the blind magazine, I think it's 17-18 years old and I know it has about 10 rounds through it. Anyway, I also have a Leupold FX-2 2.5x scope I'd like to attach...

    10/22 take down build around gemtech mist

    I was thinking about getting a 10/22 take down. Well now I'm locked in, I bought a non-ported gemtech mist for a take down. It had been at the gun shop for months and the gun shop owner finally got tired of looking at it. I also have a leupold CQ/T that I picked up several years ago never found...

    Something You Won't See Every Day

    I just picked up and set up this Browning T-Bolt in .22LR last week. I've wanted one ever since I read about the "reintroduction of the Browning T-Bolt" in American Rifleman over a decade ago. But they aren't something one sees very frequently in the wild, at least not around my area. Then, when...

    Leupold VX6 Sale, Discontinued? vs VX3i worth it?

    The Leupold VX6 2-12x42mm (and the whole 6 lineup) is on sale right now at a ridiculous discount at Cabela's. The employee I talked with tonight said the line is discontinued in their system. From what I have read, the VX2 and VX3i just got major upgrades to their quality in 2016. Would...

    Leupold Vs. Vortex

    To give a brief introduction, I am looking to buy a scope for a savage .308, and am planning to shoot at long ranges. Ideally, I'm looking at scopes with max ranges of 16-20. My question is, which company offers better glass, and which have you had better experiences with? Another question I...

    Glass for .300 WM Hawkeye

    New Ruger 77 in .300 Win. mag. needs glass. Usage will be deer hunting here in NY under 200yds. Maybe up to 350 yds. if out West. Always had good luck with Leupold; not so much with others. I reload and will reload for this rifle. Right now the contenders are VX-2 3-9x40, VX-3 3.5-10x40, and...
