The thing to do would be to find a dealer that would sit outside at sundown and let you scope some targets. I know my Leupold rangefinder looks great at dusk inthe woods, didn't have anything to sight with the 3i last evening and forgot to look thru it at twilight.

Howdy from the Kansas prairie! I have too many hobbies that got pushed aside to go hunting the past few years. The collection will probably grow from my entry level Rem 870 and 783. Out for turkey and tail this year. Looking for a waterfowl mentor this coming fall near KC or Topeka...

Here are the new VX-6 HD scopes that are replacing the old line, methinks. Notice all of them say backorder. So many flavor text words like HD in this world. Other manufacturers put that name in their product line, so Leupy had to do the same...

Maybe, 4.5-14x40mm is $499, the 50mm is $599. If there is a difference in glass I would like to do the VX6. I may call Leup and ask. I have read somewhere last night that a person thought there was a huge difference in how they looked when he viewed both. Frackin cold day in Kansas, but I...

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...
