Great deal or ?

[redneck2]

So, I’m downsizing the accumulation of rifles. Four are going away to be replaced by one. I need a scope that’s good for multiple situations. I’m a scope snob. Figured if I’m selling four I’m gonna get one really good one. Decided on a Leupold VX-6 HD, 2-12x42 with CDS and Firedot.

So, I start doing a price search. Run across a place I’ve never heard of, Big Supply Shop. The scope is about $300 cheaper than anyplace else I found. Most places it’s +/-$1,350ish. They’re at $1,080 shipped

Radar immediately goes up....too good to be true and all that. But, his EBay rating is top notch on over 7,000 transactions.

Guess I’m gonna find out if it’s a real deal. Thought I’d pass it on.

I don't know, but I just googled this.

I have seen them before, but had forgotten all about them.

Well, I got Email confirmation of the order and it will be shipped today. Guess we will see

Is that the same scope? Price there was $800 and shows as discontinued (also out of stock).

I bet you got a decent deal on a legitimate Leupold. 2-12 with CDS should be about the ultimate scope for any type of hunting.

I like your taste!

Is that the same scope?

Almost. I think (not certain) that one of the differences is that mine supposedly has the HD (high definition) lenses. It’s an upgrade and maybe the reason this one is discontinued

Mine is supposed to get here today (2/1/2018)

 

[redneck2]

Well, it was ordered three days ago. Price was phenomenal. Exactly what I ordered. Clarity is astounding. Super fast delivery

What is the FOV at 2X?

What is the FOV at 2X?

Specs say 20.3 feet at 100 yards.

I can tell you that the eye relief is quite generous

 

[Skylerbone]

It’s listed as in stock at opticsagent, one of my new favorites, for $1,089 so I’d say it’s a very good deal. Whatcha pairing it with???

 

[Walkalong]

Specs say 20.3 feet at 100 yards.

Sounds narrow for 2X.

 

[Skylerbone]

FOV is 57.5’ at 2X, 10.2’ at 12X

 

[redneck2]

Whatcha pairing it with???

Browning X-Bolt in 7 mag

Though I bought it thru Big Shop Supply, the shipping label return address is opticsagent.

The price you listed is what I paid.

 

[Peakbagger46]

The 2-12X versatility sounds absolutely awesome! Judging from my cheap (but excellent) VX2, the glass on that thing must be really good.

What critters are you going to put in the freezer with that combo?

You should spend the rest of your money on good bullets and freezer paper.

 

[redneck2]

What critters are you going to put in the freezer with that combo?

I’m thinking it should be good for anything from antelope to elk.

This thread made me curious about the seller...Big Supply, so I did some pricing. I have 2 Leupolds that I price-checked, the VX 3 3.5.10X 40mm and the VX3i 3.5-10X 40mm. I paid $400 for the first one years ago and more recently I paid $270 thru a special buying program...a real bargain not available to most people. Big Supply sells the 3i for $308 with free shipping and no tax. That is a bargain since the usual price for this scope is $400. If they sell everything this cheap, it'll be my new go-to destination.

I checked a little and not everything is like that. Seems like a good place to check though.
