6x36 with Dotz

Old school Leupold. M8 6x36. Duplex.



M8 6x36, again.



And again.......



Just plain works.

Nice Jim!! I'm also fond of the older Leupolds. between 4 and 6 power is all you need for most hunting.

Steve

I was hiking with my dad up a frosty canyon. He slipped and whacked his VXII leupold scope bell. We used my rifle (with a 6x36 FXII) instead for a shot on a coues buck at 250 yards. Checked his zero later on, it was off over a foot at 100 yards. So we killed a leupold scope and killed a nice buck with a leupold scope on the same hunt...but both leupolds are gone now.

I've got at least a couple thousand inches of bucks whacked with Leupy scopes. Photobucket has me held hostage, but I've posted lots of them many times here before.

VX-3 1.5X5X20

👍

Imgur maiden voyage.................

Stunning Trophy room, JG.,,,,

Luck trumps skill any day jorge!

I don't have either!

Good going with Imgur, JG.

That persistent, consistent "luck", sorta sets a trend, don't ya think...

Great trophy room and great trophies.

DF

Killed this one.............and all I was trying to do was use it as intended. M1 Turret isn't much good if the tracking is off by several MOA.

Awesome pic SuperCub, just awesome.

No negatives from me on Leupold scopes. I guess I have 20 or so now and have owned and sold a similar number. Used them all across the USA, Canada and once in Africa. Had one handgun scope go bad on a 357 Maximum. It was fixed free and returned in about ten days. I’ll buy more of them.

Johnny, I'd shoot two of the three bucks on the fireplace.

At least a guy can't see any high........oh, never mind......

JG, nice to see that collection of horn again.

VX-3i, 4.5x14x40. CDS turret for my 7mm WSM load. Shot was 300ish. Turret set for 300, bullet hit where aimed. DRT.

I've drank the SWFA koolaid, but have several older Leupolds that have earned their keep. Mainly 6x42s, but some M8 4X32s and 2.5X20 Ultralights too, but one 1.5-4X20 VXII.

When something needs to die, at any cost, this is the rifle and scope that gets broke out. It'll be with me in the Yukon next year for griz and mountain caribou.




This 3-9x40 lost zero on me in New Zealand....and found out the hard way on a 2nd tahr...

Damn!!!

Sweet!!!!!!

Where was that taken at SuperCub. Thanks for your time. Cheers NC

An oldie that I've probably posted way to many times but I'm still proud of the rifle/scope/and Cat

6x42, 355 yards with the 25-06 and a 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip:


And ten years earlier with the same scope & rifle, a Washington buck:


350 some yards, again with the 6x Leupold, 25-06 & 115 gr:


3-9x Leupold on a 7mm Rem Mag, maybe 180 yards?


And many more...

Guy

reg old 4X on RSI in .243, shot on the move



4x compact on 760 in .35 rem, shot on the move too (but moving pretty quick LOL)

2-7X VX1 on Contender carbine in .35 rem

VXR 3x9x50 w/#4 FireDot on a K95 in 270. 6 pounds, 12 oz.

Yukon Territory in 2010. What a place that is!

Nice pics, I like Leupold

How about Leupolds that stay zeroed for not one, but two shots!








Maybe make a shot at a deer across the field 3 seconds after legal shooting hours start in the morning.






Or, just up and shoot one in the early afternoon.

Too many to post them all, so I'll just put up the last one...

Tuesday afternoon in Maine I watched my bro take a moose with his FX3 6x Leupold on a Rem 700 8 mm Remington Mag with a single 200 Nosler Partition at about 300 yards.
The guy at the check in station had never heard of the caliber.

I do not buy that!

Here's a few since thats all I used for years, still really like my older Leupold Mark 2 scope with the long range reticle. Have used that one a bunch for hunting stuff since its on my favorite rifle.

It's likely that most of my kills have been with Leupold scopes, but my favorites are the VX-III/3 series 3.5-10x40 with the B&C reticle, and the VX-II/2 series 3-9x40 with the Long Range Duplex. When I hunt open areas, I dial them for max power and utilize the additional aiming points for 300 to 400yd shots (200yd +/- zero).

This black pig on the right was killed using the LRD at 300yds. Easy-peasy. 160NAB in a 7mmSAUM.



I just put this pic up just the other day, but the black pig on the left was killed at 410 using the B&C reticle. 7mm RM 160NAB. Impact was exactly where I held. Worked like a charm.

Maybe in North Carolina...

About 50% of the photos showed Walnut stocks. Warms my heart. Love a good Walnut stock.
George

These pictures look photoshopped. Absolutely no way a Leupold will work on big game

Excellent!

There's a method someone recently shared that will allow you to steal your pictures back from that other outfit. There's a way apparently. Mighta been localdirt that posted it. Just a thought.

Good to see your bucks.

There’s not enough pages to let me hang pics.... I’ll just keep ghosting shiit, and listening to the whining.... haha

6x36 on a .275 rigby

2-7 on a 6.5 creed kimber. Don’t judge. It was a dark time in my life lol.


poems about the moon and love

6x42 on a .375 h&h

No need to guess....




With a friend....Maine Moose again....

Prairie Doggin'.......

2018 Michigan 3-9x40 VX-R on 450 Bushmaster

I moved on from Leupold on my bigger fur hunting rigs, kept many that have homes on varmint rifles, but I’ve said it before, Leupold is probably responsible for more shït dying through glass than most other mfg’s combined. 😎

This looks like a good endorsement of Leupold.

Nice Bucks!!!!

2.5X8X36 VX3 with B&C reticle. South Gate Mauser action Weatherby, 180gr TTSXs, one shot 330 yards...

RBO, mercy, mercy.

Holy Hoss!!!

Oh yea!!!!

Did he hit 250 plus?

Got these in spite of being handicapped with a junky old Leupold.

A few days ago..... it's hard to find trophy animals from the couch slummin a Leupy..... so this guy had to do.....

Good buck, brother...😎

Wouldn’t mind hearing details on this hawg you shot...😎

Thanks brother.... I am rather comfortable in my mediocrity.....
Another Leupy couch victim....

That's a Leupold hat I'm wearing.

Damn hats don't count Kingston.... now if you did that from a couch.... well extra points awarded...

He tried to get me to carry a love seat up the mountain...He kept saying, “Well, it’s not a couch, so what’s the problem?” 🤷🏽‍♀️😎

Love seat..... hmmm very suspicious.....

Besides Kingston don't slum a Leupy.... he is too hi falutin for that....

You see those eyes? That was one dude who’d been hunting hard to get that bull....Couch, Love Seat, LZ Boy recliner, we all would have dove on one afterwards. Grins 😎

Love the camo Kingston...... I say the hat counts for something.

VXII 2-7x33m on Kimber Classic Select Bob & Pennsylvania mountain buck 2016:



Vx2 3-9x40mm on Weatherby .300 Weatherby Mag & South Dakota West River buck 2016:



Record season for me... 2 nine points DIY public land on hunts that Campfire bro’s played key roles.

Blessed life. Un-friggin-believable...

I look 15 years older than I did a week earlier.

After all your kind and objective comments, did Dane or Nick send you the hat?

One of my 2.5X20 Ultralights on a .307 Win.

efw, that’s awesome! Love the gnarly old bones on the first buck. Great Job! 😎

Hunting rosies in the pnw with the likes of Beav & Fred will do that to a fella........ congrats Kingston, that is no small feat

Looks like a fairly typical Pa Mountain Buck. I just hope the Mountain Laurel stayed that thin on the drag out.

T_Inman,
That pic of the cow elk is exceptional..... well most all your pic's are very good. Thanks for sharing

Ha I wish:

Thanks Beav that was an epic season for me; amazing memories with some great friends. Pretty awesome trophies & loads of venison to remember it all by.

The antlers on that Pa buck had a lot of character but the SD buck’s were almost PERFECTLY symmetrical and his body was enormous.

Leave a week from today for South Dakota to hunt the Black Hills but all the glass this year is Burris...

I actually bought the hat. It was a sort of peace offering—realizing I was hunting in Leupold country w/o a Leupold. I figured if I wore that Leupold had the locals would tolerate four feet of carbon fiber with a giant Kahles bolted to it. I was there 10 days and not one comment on the hat...

A bunch of other optics companies have sent me hats though.

That will test you and trip you and velcro itself onto a Deer. Nasty place to kill a Deer.

That's a real nice rifle season PA mountain buck. Congrats on the 24HCF twofer, that's awesome!

[]

No wood stocks but sort of old school:) Hard to tell but it is a Leupold on that KS.

Great pics fellas!

Every rifle I've killed a big game animal with had a Leupold on it.

nasty looking hogs you got there dingo

some very nice pictures ! thanks to all for posting pictures ! >>Leupold is still gettin the job done !

Get a call yesterday from a pard. Checking zero on dad's rifle. Its off 5" to the RIGHT and 3" HIGH, though it did shoot a 1" group at that location. (I think to myself, how the hell was it off that much). I adjusted 20 clicks left and 12 down. Now its grouping 6" LEFT and 5" LOW.

Leupold, I asked.

Yes, VX III, what should we do?

Throw it in the trash and buy a NF (which is literally what I would do).

When I was scrolling down and saw the top edge of your photo I thought you had popped a dog. Ha Ha

Me too brother. You know I'm not easy on a scope and Leup failed me for the last time. What did Greg say the "L" on your rifle case stands for?

>just send me the old icky Leupold scope and your address and i will send you the shipping charges back to you and a extra $20.00

Would if I could. But the junky CDS doesn't return to zero worth a flip and has caused a couple of misses with loopy trajectory 300/221 sub sonics. Verified on paper that it won't work right.

So Super Sniper in the mail and L will come off and go back to factory when I get back to Texas. Plus I can send in the 4-12 that won't adjust anymore and the 2.5-8 that won't focus anymore either.

That said I've sent in 2 of my Zeiss over the year also so it really doesn't matter. Long as they will stand behind product and product works correctly at some point.

RE CT Smith, they do that. The simple way with scopes like that is I just shoot a group, zero to the holes on paper while looking through the scope in a bench vise. Much easier and I always go past the holes a fair amount. Then come back to them. Then thump the scope and also bounce the rifle butt on the ground a few times to somewhat simulate recoil. Once set its usually good.

Dont' have those issues with my Zeiss though

Al, what rifle and cartridge?

Wayne....specs are: (were)

700 long action, hard chromed, #6 fluted Hart, McMillan Marksman stock, Leupold 6.5-20x40, chambered in 6-284, 85 grain Barnes XBT's at 3400.

Went through my hunting notes and found I've taken about a quarter of my big game animals with Leupolds. They have included 23 species, ranging in size from pronghorns and springbok to Cape buffalo and Alaskan moose. Here are a couple examples:

Must have been a trick shot!

Last years firearms buck.

6mm BDL w a 2-7x on top.

Vari X II 3-9x40

OK..I'll throw another random Leupold shot in here...

Ed, you need to raise your mower deck higher before mowing your bear. Just saying. 😬😎

Dats a funny lookin elk Tinman...

That's a badass buck!!! Nice...

Haha fo sho!!! God damn that Bushnell took a beating!!!! Haha

Nice work!! Sorry but for some reason I figured you were a old fart, like 70??? 😂

Ya, something wasn't right with him.

His wimminz looked funny too.

Gold medal stag. Win M70,a worthless BACO in totally useless caliber 30-06 Spr. Scope is a Leupold VX-3 1.5x5x20 w/ #4 reticle. About 100 meters. As dark as it was in that forest that morning, I had no trouble placing my shot, even with these old 69 year old (at the time) eyes. One shot with a S&B 180 Nosler Partition factory load, straight on in the chest and he dropped like a sack of potatoes. Bullet was recovered in the right ham. RJ

Old picture........ha ha......

Theres just soooooo much wrong here!

BACO Model 70...seriously? Probably " Assembled in Portugal" where Browning has been assembling their junk for decades...

.30-06....do they still make ammo for those things? I thought 6.5 Creeds were using up all the raw materials....

Oh..I see they do...you used FACTORY AMMO? What is that? Ive never used it. And a Partition is SOOOO yesterday!

Lastly...you should know a Leupy 1.5x 5 isn't going to work in low light conditions...


If you'll step up your game and modernize, you might kill a good stag one day!




















Congrats on that one though!

I’m an outfitter/guide that buck was shot in 2017 with a Leupold VX-6 2-12x42. It ended up netting just under 173”. It’s moose season here right now, my first 2 clients from PA are tagged out. They arrived on the 30th, season opened on the 1st, first bull shot on the 2nd and the 2nd bull was shot yesterday on the 3rd. Both were shot with swarovski’s so I won’t post the pics here.

aalf for the win over Jon Burns, with his spray tan, sunglasses and trained coyote....😬😎

Heres another....VX-II on this one 3x9...how pedestrian is THAT?

Did I miss Jon Burns post?

Has he been using his teeth whitener?

VX3i 2.5-8x36 w/B&C Reticle

I fancy that 99. What caliber might that be?

I was driving on an icy road last year. Slipped on the ice and ran my truck right into a tree. Dang thing wouldn't run after that, so I had to have it towed. Went home and sold every truck I had. Wish I'd checked around enough to know that tree woulda killed any truck before I did that.

4.5-14x42 LR Last Tuesday (11/26) Mississippi Delta

Nice job of stonework on that fireplace. Lol

Savage 99 in 358

That is a very nice buck. I love the tine length.

And the beat goes on....and on....and on....

Lucky there are not all that many Pa boys on here. The site would crash.

358! Nice!

WHOA! Awesome picture WCH!

VX 5 HD 3-15x44 under the scope cover.

nice. they grow em up there.

was this with your LTR? I really like that platform.

Cool palmation!

It is my second LTR, I gave the first one to my nephew who believes it's magic. Set this one up similar to his. These are great rifles, handier than a pocket on a shirt.

Some pics of the first LTR

Leupold VX-1 2-7x33 Heavy Duplex on an 870

Congrats on the bucks!

Great looking buck! Congrats!
