How about Leupolds that stay zeroed for not one, but two shots!

Maybe make a shot at a deer across the field 3 seconds after legal shooting hours start in the morning.

Or, just up and shoot one in the early afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon in Maine I watched my bro take a moose with his FX3 6x Leupold on a Rem 700 8 mm Remington Mag with a single 200 Nosler Partition at about 300 yards.
The guy at the check in station had never heard of the caliber.

Here's a few since thats all I used for years, still really like my older Leupold Mark 2 scope with the long range reticle. Have used that one a bunch for hunting stuff since its on my favorite rifle.

It's likely that most of my kills have been with Leupold scopes, but my favorites are the VX-III/3 series 3.5-10x40 with the B&C reticle, and the VX-II/2 series 3-9x40 with the Long Range Duplex. When I hunt open areas, I dial them for max power and utilize the additional aiming points for 300 to 400yd shots (200yd +/- zero).

This black pig on the right was killed using the LRD at 300yds. Easy-peasy. 160NAB in a 7mmSAUM.

I just put this pic up just the other day, but the black pig on the left was killed at 410 using the B&C reticle. 7mm RM 160NAB. Impact was exactly where I held. Worked like a charm.

About 50% of the photos showed Walnut stocks. Warms my heart. Love a good Walnut stock.

These pictures look photoshopped. Absolutely no way a Leupold will work on big game smile

Excellent!

There's a method someone recently shared that will allow you to steal your pictures back from that other outfit. There's a way apparently. Mighta been localdirt that posted it. Just a thought.

Good to see your bucks.

I moved on from Leupold on my bigger fur hunting rigs, kept many that have homes on varmint rifles, but I’ve said it before, Leupold is probably responsible for more shït dying through glass than most other mfg’s combined. 😎

This looks like a good endorsement of Leupold.
