I see their FX-3 6x42 has been available but was hoping they would make them available through their VIP program. No such luck. May just bite the bullet and pay retail for the scope, but either way I am a bit torqued by the lack of options in this field.

I literally signed up for the VIP program with the intent of getting an FX3 6X42. This is what I want on my newly acquired MKV .270WBY.

I called Leupold and spoke to a couple of different people none of which had any answers.

My search for an appropriate scope for that rifle continues.
