Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Leupold VX-R 2-7 Ballistic FD and a CZ 550 416 Rigby

This kudu was taken with a relatively light 9,3X74R, wearing a 2-7 Leupold.





And, this cape buffalo was taken with a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby, wearing a 2-7 Leupold.


The scope on the 9,3 had about 300 rounds shot under it, and the scope on the 416 Rigby had about 250. I used the Rigby for shooting varmints out my bedroom window...gophers, jackrabbits, and coyotes...as well as some extensive use in Africa, much of it on plains game. I loaded Speer 350s for the 416 at good velocities, almost 416 WBY, for my varmint load.

I have a 2-7 Leupold on my pre-64 Mdl 70 375 H&H by choice and have one as a second scope in QD mounts on my FN/Sako 375 Wby Mag. I have punished the heck out of these scopes, and not one has failed in any manner.

I would NOT recommend any reticle but a duplex or German #4!
