Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Leupold 3-9x33 VX-II Rimfire E.F.R. Riflescope

Guys a friend of mine was wondering about one of this scopes on a 77/22 all weather 22mag Ruger for hunting and was wondering are they worth there salt and who may have a good deal on one I told him he needs to look at the weaver line but he's sold on this leupold <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />..

I would also like to know more on these. I need a scope for my T-Bolt

I have one on a Kimber Hunter .22 l.r., and I don't know what I can tell you except that it works well, and looks balanced in proportion to the rifle. If you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them.

I've got one on a Sako FinnFire 22 LR. Works great!
I sent it back to Leupold, and had a Leupold dot reticle installed.
The parallax is adjustable down to 15 yards, and is "shootable" on 9X down to the closer ranges.
Wish I had a cupple more of 'em!

WOW he'll be glad to know this

Got one coming for a Kimber .22 also from Cabelas'. Debated about 4X12 AO. but decided on the II EFR due to having previous experience.

Maybe we could do a "difference" comparison between users. Got any ideas or suggestions?

Should mention, I'm a firm believer that people DO see differently between optics. Have no idea why or how so, but seems to follow not everyone likes, sees, or uses the same type of eyeglass and prescription.

Anyone know where you can find one less than $349.00 shipped or is that a good price?

That's what I want to know... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

Ditto the above comments. I love mine and it looks great on my 452 American. I paid a good bit less than that but I bought mine from RickBin and I believe Leupold quit selling to him... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Midway had them for $269.99 recently.

Nope 349.99 is their price..

Gearlodge.com has them for $319, matte finish VX-II with fine duplex.

I bougt mine several years ago, but figure SWFA might have the best buy nowdays (since Rick has been ousted by leupold)

The 349 price was about as good as found here. Some are little less, some more, but you have to check the postage deal to come out a little ahead.

If remember Rick was best price, but Leupold shut him off before I got ready to order.

Sometimes:
Graf & Sons is right in there with anyone for lowest price.

Question for anyone: Did they come out with matte for sure, would rather have had matte in the E.F.R.? That is usually my luck when ordering. They come out with the rather have after I order.

Yes tha Rimfire pic below is matte

remseven,

I recently bought mine through the Optic Zone as the had both the matte finish w/ fine duplex as well as the more common gloss w/ fine duplex.

As previous poster indicated regarding the cheaper price: they might not include free s/h. With the optic zone I also got the free mounting tool and lens pen (my picks from a list)--this a promo from Leupold so all should have same offer.

I have two that I bought from Ric Bin. I had them mounted on two Mossberg U.S. Model 44s. I have had no probelm with them.

I don't have that particular scope, but what I had was a VXII 2-7x33 with a 4A reticle lying around. I sent it to Leu and had the paralax adjusted to 75 yrds.

The scope is mounted to my heavey barrel 10/22 and it works great. I like the 4a recticle better on my squirrel rifle than my big game rifle. The heavey cross hairs help me find the little buggers amounst the tree limbs and leafs. The wide spacing between the posts give me a fine crosshair for making the shot.

A wide duplex would serve the same function.

I'll let yall know what I think shortly. I just got my local dealer to order one for $325.00 with tak it will come to.........surprise.......$349.00. I did find one for $345 delivered but I would rather get it locally.

Wouldn't you know, my luck again, he, he. Got the glossy today from Cabelas. Of course, their next hunt catalog will probably list the matte too!

By the way, this is first VXII E.F.R., and could tell right away it is brghter than my old ones. The extra coatings sure seem to help.

Hope to have mounted on .22 and check her out tomorrow about evening time, as the light begins to dim.
