Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire LEUPOLD TO DISCONTINUE VXIII and VXL ????

Anyone have the fixed models on sale?

I love Leupold, they are by far the dominant scopes in my safe, but.....they better watch their butts on price increases. there is a lot of competition out there.

I see this is your first posting! WELCOME aboard. Come around often.
My personal take is that if Leupold has a good product, it will sell. That VX-7 I have in 1.5-6x has an image equal to the high end Euro scopes. I'll buy one of the new Leupy's because it will have good glass, and it will have a 1" tube which is important to me.

I called Cabelas on the 5th and ordered a VXIII 3.5-10 40 stainless with a B&C reticle. Should have it tomorrow.

FYI, most of the VX-III scopes Cabelas had on there website for sale now show "sold out". However if you find the same scope in one of the stores and you take a copy of the web page ad with you, Cabelas will price match and give you the sale price on the one in the store. I did this yesteday on a 1.5-5 scope.

Any word yet when the new ones are coming out?

don't you long for the good old days when a scope was an accessory for a rifle instead of the other way around?
