Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics VX-6 3-18, STOP the presses...it's REAL !!!

Wish someone would ask one of the deep thinkers at Leupold why they can't make hydro type coatings for their scopes.

Sorry their resources these days are limited to melting diamonds for diamond coating who needs hydor coatings

I already gave you that job RD. WTH you been doing?

No one said ALL products, but someone posted they buy Leupold because its made in the USA.........do you only buy certain scopes from Leupy and you have called to confirm that ALL parts are manufactured in the USA and that nothing comes from outside our borders? Nope so why even get on that soapbox?

I said:


Obviously not an absolute. But, imo, it is better than doing nothing. I do my best to check labels on everything. I am not naive enough to think there won't be out-surced components. However, I would rather buy: Made in Canada/USA before Assembled in Canada/USA, and Assembled in Canada/USA before Made in China.

Bushnell has Rainguard lenses on their Japanese and Chinese made scopes. Maybe Leupold needs to check out those vendors...

I would think there's a big market place out there...

And, they could still assemble them at home...

Maybe I could order a objective lense and ocular lense from Bushnell and have Leupold's Custom Shop install them on a VX-6.

If I have to send another scope back to Leupold in 2013, I'm gonna be done with them.

And I really like Leupold.

Would that be a Leushnell or a Bupold?

The 4-12 I bought last year is going back for the second time cause it won't hold zero and it's only on a 270.

It could only be a BetterPold

I bought a brand new MK4 LR/T Super-duper-whatever-the-[bleep] in 6.5-20X50mm. Went titts up in less than 50 rounds on a 12lb .308. I was so disgusted I am just now sending it off. Been sitting on my book shelf for about three weeks.

I remember the days when they actually made a durable and reliable scope.

And before that, I had M1's put on by the Custom Shop on my 6X42, and that thing required about 12 clicks to move 1 MOA @ 100yds. Box, it up. Back to Leupold. Wait two weeks, put it back on...

Made my vagina swell with anger.

Scope troubles really pizz me off. I don't shoot high round counts annually like lots of guys around here, so if I start having trouble I'm gonna find something that I won't have tourble with. I'm not a brand loyalist guy to begin with. I like dependable "stuff" period.

Same here.

Gents,
I have 2 of them. The standard duplex and the B&C reticle. Both illuminated. To me, they are the perfect scope for what I do and dont cost 2K. I really prefer the B&C width as it seems to subtend about .250 at 100. The duplex subtends slightly over .500 at 100, both at 16-18x. Both are extremely clear and definetly compete in sharpness with both my Swaro Z5 3-18 and the 6-18PH.Both seems to be a step up in clarity from the VX3 clan.
Hopefully I will buy another soon, for me they are the perfect blend of power, clarity and size.

The 2-12X42 for around $650 range does interest me, but I want some field reports. I want to put one on a .280, seems likes a sweet combo if the new Leupy checks out in the field.

I've had mine for 1 season, maybe +100 rounds on a 7mm RM. I have no problems with it and it compares very favorably to the Z3. I used it on several deer hunts and in poor lighting/weather conditions on a moose hunt in October and so far I am very happy.
