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.

I’m in the same boat as you. Looking to scope my Montana in 280ai. Leupold service told me to sign up for email notifications and be quick to buy when the notification came. I’m seeing the scope at carious retailers over the last couple of weeks, but still not from Leupold. I sent another message asking if they would have any available through the VIP program and got ghosted. So much for “VIP”.
