The tattered M70 in the front... 3o-o6w/ VX3 2.5-8. My buddy calls it ' The Frankenstein Rifle'. You lefties are lucky to get that!

I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

This is how you make them long action friendly. EGW base and low rings. I replaced this scope with a 2-7 vx-R and never looked back. The VX-R is a much better scope imo. Sitting on a LH savage 338-06.

Yeah, and at last year's prices of $450-$479, I would have got one myself. As I was torn between it and the VX-3 2.5-8. They went up to $500+ anywhere I looked, and my choice of the FIredot-4 is now only available in a 10th Mil adjustment version. So I passed, and saved $100 in the process.

Bringing this thread back to life. I call these 2 the step brothers. A Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather in 7mm-08 and a Remington 700 LVSF also in 7mm-08 in an original Ti SAUM stock. Obviously both are wearing Leupold 2.5-8 VX3s and both live in Talley LWs.

My little 7mm BB wore one for a while -- long enough to eliminate a few hogs.

I've got four of these scopes, but there is nothing special about the rifles so I won't bore you with pics. I might go crazy and try a 3.5-10 for more top end next time.

Mauser Action 300 Weatherby circa 1957. The 2.5X8X36 is my favorite Leupold scope. I have three of them... Winchester Custom Shop 338. They both sport B&C reticles...

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
