centershot Campfire Outfitter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 10,668 Southern Idaho	Picked up a Leupold 3.5-10x40VX 3i CDS ZL about a month ago. Really like it. About 1/2 to 1/3 of stated budget. Clicks not a solid as a Night Force SHV but still easy enough to feel and adjustments stay put. Scope is much smaller and can be mounted closer to centerline with the 40mm objective and 1" tube. Shot a couple at a steel plate at 400, then zip down to zero and shoot a couple at 100, then back to 400 then back down - did that 4-5 times and hit as expected each time. Pretty neat hunting setup. Glass on the VX3i is pretty good also. A true sportsman counts his achievements in proportion to the effort involved and fairness of the sport. - S. Pope
