Believe it or not I’ve done that (also with less shots) with a Leupold. I do believe there are better options however.

Then after it settles in, you find your poi has shifted.

NF's and the Bushnell 4.5x18 and 3x12's have been pretty great as well with their G3 reticle.

Still, if the 6, 10 or 3x9's fit into your shooting they are a pile of goodness for not alot of money. I'll gladly take the weight penalty for knowing my stuff will work.



I love my 6x SWFA

Every damn scope I've ever had was a PIA to zero. But once set the Leupolds and Nikons held zero better than most. I had an old VX-1 on my .280 Remington built on a 98 that held zero for 12 years of hunting until I put a VX-3i 3.5-10x40 on it last year. They are very under rated scopes.

I also had a Nikon Prostaff on a Remington 700 SPS .30-06 for about the same length of time that the only time I had to adjust was when I dropped the rifle when I slipped in the mud and the rifle landed on the scope hard. I had to take it to the range and it was off about 4" to the left and 3" low. Otherwise it never moved off zero. I've since rescoped it too with another VX-3i 3.5-10.

FlamingJan,

PREACH it girl...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

How are you "confirming" zero and how many rounds of ammo in your "illustrious" "12 year" run?!? GOOD time to dangle a picture of that piece of fhuqking schit. Hint. LAUGHING!

Personally,I've not seen more than (3) NIB Reupolds Puke,on any one given day. Hint.

1000 words. Hint.



Unfortunately,I've never even seen a Custom 280,so can't comment there. Unless of course one is talkin' a straightened 700 and a MTU 8" Bart',Marty 45MOA extended 1913 fairly positively affixed,spec'd throat clearance and freebore,all for .796 BC's and miles of room to chase lands ala OEM box. Lapooey positive headspaced false shoulders,Double-ounce Shilen,Matt's S/S bottom,Kelly & Crew's HEAVY filled '5 and only (1) ball offa' Brass Monkey. Hint. LAUGHING!

Thankfully doctors and dentists don't have equipment that works like Leupold "Let me tap the ol tooth drill on the table here so the speed I just set it to, takes"... That could get a bit unnerving. grin

Wow..haven`t had that kind of trouble for many years..old lupie`s and Weavers. Many new scopes of different brands now on my rifles..usually bore sight at 25, fire a shot, move the reticule to the hole, fire another shot to conferm. Shoot at 100 and repeat.
A mistake IMO, I see every year at Sight In, is guys chasing the bullet hole with out calling their shot. How do you make an accurate scope adjustment if you can`t call an accurate shot?

'EA,

I've broken every GLX I've had,as they are brittle bitches. Paid the Loomis cash up front for Warranty and PLEADED my case to "down grade" to GL3,because I was DONE with GLX's. I'm sure they are still shaking their heads and I'm still laughing. Hint.

On my favorite 1141S,I'm welllllllllll over 2000 Steelhead upon it alone. Hint.

I'd go GL2 before GLX.

I'm better than 1000 Salmonids a year,if I'm dragging my feet(which has to happen).

Hint.

Very few can begin to comprehend the magnitude.....................

Hey little buddy. I hope you are well. I'm sorry. I didn't meant to hurt your sensitive feelings by conversing with someone else. I actually can't believe that which I typed got you so wound up that you felt the need to explode. I think if you were to give the scopes I listed an honest try, you would change your mind and agree with what I typed. I hope your day gets better and hope you have a great day.
