There's nothing wrong with preferring one sport over the other, or liking both equally. Not a damn thing wrong with any of it as long as Leupolds aren't used. Then you're just wrong. Nobody take that seriously, please. Half my rifles have Leupolds on them.

LOL To be clear, I wasn't trying to take a jab at Jud specifically, I was just laughing at the salty comments about hunters that never shoot and shooters that never hunt. There's a large segment of 'Fire members that is pretty passionate about both.

I have a couple of VX-5HDs waiting to be put to use. Have gotten as far as sighting in one of them, which was accomplished after bore sighting (the old fashioned eyeball method) in two shots. This is a video that Leupold just put out, and I found it interesting. https://www.leupold.com/leupold-core/stories/american-manufacturing-heritage

Congratulations?!? The MK4 16x's don't get shot much. The MK4 M3's 3.5-10x's are all gone(I think),excepting a 6x. The Spotter hasn't RE-Puked,but the $400 Bushy FFP crushes it. Hint. Have had rather good luck with MK4 M1 10x's though. Have had purty good luck with MK4 M1 3.5-10x's. Just sayin'.............

I tripped my 65mm Zeiss Spotter,just to gain the G2 reticle. Hint. Closing distance on Woofs. I had a new rifle(wearing Reupold) and pard had 10x MQ with 130 JLK's and good DOPE. Got too many fhuqking pictures and cain't locate the Bushy FFP Spotter images. Just do it. Hint.(grin) Now as to the Reupold video,I'm fhuqking CRYIN'...LAUGHING soooooooooo fhuqking hard!!! "Bullet hit objective and went into turret and worked fine". Nary a word on Mechanics,then a 4.5-14x STOLE the "show" optically! HILARIOUS!!! Bless their hearts. Hint. LAUGHING!...................

Would they do so if they didn't track well? Seems I've heard of guys buying their own equipment because they didn't find Uncle Sam's provision satisfactory.......who knows
