Variable power seems to outsell fixed by a very large margin. Leupold has cut a lot out of their portfolio recently. I have a 6x42 I like pretty well. Not in love with the reticle but it is fairly bright and simple. I bought it for the kids/girls rifle just because it was simple. It seems like everyone wants a higher zoom ratio, which just seems a bit pointless to me.

Scope internals matter wayyyyyyyyy more than external "appearances". Hint.
The 6x36 has been and remains Dog Schit from inception,as compared to the 6x42. Hint.
The 6x42 is best(like everything else Reupold),without A/O. The 1/8" erectors are fhuqking tender JUNK. The most recent versions,are cost cutting measures and Dog Schit. Hint.
"Shimming" ring halves,is about THE dumbest fhuqking thing you can do to a rifle. Hint.
Were Reupold to go back to better internals and couple the 6x42 with an etched MQ reticle,they'd have something worthy. Hint.
But...alas. Hint.
LAUGHING!.................. Shimming ring halves worked just fine on my rifle......shot 1.1" at 200 yds.......deer near 300 yds did not argue....DRT........ The upside was the lower rings allowed my face to get a decent cheek weld vs taller rings. And......I also have a 6x33 FX-II, some use 2-7x33, same objective for a 7x and owners rarely complain. My 6x33 works just fine, M1 and standard Duplex.......owned many 42s, no complaints, but I like svelte. If it works...........it works.

Shimming sounds like it might put unneeded stress on the tube, and some of these tubes are pretty flimsy. Is this to allow for vertical travel? If so, I’d look for an angled mount so the bores line up. Just me...

65Drooler, Shimming ring halves,doesn't/can't work on ANY scope/rifle,unless one is musing concentric reducers. Read that again. Now one more time. HINT. "Tactical" cardboard ring shims?!? You CLUELESS Drooling Fhuqktards never disappoint,by simply doing your BEST! Hint. LAUGHING! Now to solve a concentricity issue,one can certainly shim a base with a non-malleable/weatherproof spacer(non cardboard!) and eccentric Signature rings. It's an easy solve for concentricity woe(s) and added inclination. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. LAUGHING! Bless your heart for sharing your BEST though! Hint. LAUGHING!.......... Ms. Myrth, I've never seen one. Google says that they are BDC,which is a Goat Fhuqk? Hint. LAUGHING! Perhaps with a shift to a turret,which aligns it's (1) MOA elevation erector graduations,it might could be pressed into service? That despite the erector travel being rather trite,given it's 30MM tube. HINT. Or so Google tells me. Hint. LAUGHING!................. CryLee, Your Brokedicktitude and STUPIDITY precludes you from even a FIRST fhuqking clue...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!? Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so you can "afford" to "contribute". Hint. LAUGHING! Do NOT "forget",that imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint. Bless your heart for Crying and Trying though! Hint. LAUGHING!...............

Stick, I see you’ve become obsessed with me. You’re not my type. Sorry to hurt your feelings. You really are sensitive.

Not in love with the reticle but it is fairly bright and simple. I bought it for the kids/girls rifle just because it was simple. It seems like everyone wants a higher zoom ratio, which just seems a bit pointless to me. Yep indeed. The trend seems to be bigger scopes. One young bloke who joined our deer club for a while put a 5-25 scope on his .30-06 for deer and then shot four times at a red stag at 100m ................and missed four times. He finally hit it on the fifth shot which was probably a lucky shot judging buy his previous shooting skills. My mates have a bit of a laugh at me for buying fixed scopes and none will try one themselves. They are all convinced they are hindering themselves and most won't even buy a 2-7 or 2.5-8 variable even, as they think a 7x or 8x magnification is still not enough to shoot a deer. I was sad to see Leupold get rid of the 4x33 and 6x36 but I can't really blame them when not many people are buying them anymore.

Geezzz, Stinky, is that chamber filthy enough for you. Can't imagine what your house looks like 😂.
God, you're a pathetic mutt.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I still love the 6x36 LR 270 Win 140 Accubond combo.
Inside of 400-450 yards it is hard to beat.

Stick.. What’s happening man, long time no chat In the garand pic do you recall origin of the flat plastic 10 packs of ammo? I had a bunch like that similar but 308. Your pic appears to be ‘06? It’s the Only surplus fodder I can recall packaged as such
