My search in the classifieds for a VX-3 is coming up dry, so I'll just order one. Before I pull the trigger, I want to see if I'm missing any sales or good deals out there from retailers right now. Looking for a VX-3 8.5-25x50 with the varmint reticle (model 66610).

I believe all the official retailers only sell at the Leupold standard prices.

However, you could wait and save with rebates like Midway or others. Good luck.

That's a good point. If you do a Google search under that model and look at the shopping options, there are a wide range of prices. I am never sure which ones are legitimate and which should be cause for concern.

You should check samplelist.com as well, they have demos and used scopes for sale.

Thanks. Just checked and they don't have what I'm looking for. I appreciate the suggestion, though.

Rather than that, I think it's that the official retailers can only advertize Leupolds down to certain prices. What they can actually sell them at may (or may not) be less.


I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

it is called a map price, manufacturer advertised price and they cannot advertise lower than that. that is why you will see a call for price and availability so they can give you the low price without getting their bal#s busted by the manufacturer.


guns to me are like legal crack

Try http://theopticzone.com/.

The 9% Spring discount makes the price on that scope look pretty good.

I'd like to pitch our own Rick Bin here. Patronizing him helps keep this forum alive and well, and his price is pretty good too:

Thanks, for the tip, as I had also been shopping for a Leupold 2 x 7 VX 2 and I was somewhat interested in one of the Redfield Revolutions in a 2 x 7. They were already $10 cheaper on the Redfield then anywhere else, and the Leupold was the standard $299, which when buying them together got me the free shipping, then subtract $40.00 plus for the 9% discount and it was definately the best deal I had seen so I went for it, and ordered one of each.

I had a AR15 that needed a scope and an old Browning FN Bolt that needed one.
