Cabelas is selling a Leupold VX-6 HD 2-12x42 Fire Dot Duplex reticle for $1399.99. Not exactly a steal but NOT 2k!! and not in the ALPHA class scopes. I agree there are deals for the older models that make sense to grab up.

I don't always venture out into the sub-freezing darkness, but when I do, it is deer hunting season, and I carry a Remington. Stay hungry my friends.
