So many choices!!! A new scope would be a good choice. A lot of times I end up with a lot of guns without scopes :chuckle:

I've got 4, lol
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Now I have to choose what I want,  new leupold vx3 for my 300 win mag or maybe a 6mm or 7mm or maybe something I have not thought of :tup:

I sure am glad there's no " Given the OK " in my world. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
It's a wonderful thing.   :chuckle:

Rifle for sure. sounds like your looking at something flat shooting. how bout 6.5-284? build  a wicked long range rig.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Here is a tip if you decide to buy a leupold.

I find NAtchez shooter supply to have really good prices.  If you buy a higher end Leupold, you get free shipping and a "free gift".  The free gift selection is stuff like the leupold bore sighter, and alumina flip covers.  That is like an 80 to 100 dollar value.

For example:
Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50mm LR Riflescope Duplex Reticle 30mm Tube Matte is listed at 760 dollars.  and has this at the bottom of the page:
**Free Shipping AND Free Gifts Available on this item!

When ordering LU66480, you will be able to choose one of the following free gifts:

Leupold Lens Pen

Leupold Mounting Tool

Leupold Ballistic Chart

Leupold Standard Mounts (Rings & Base)

Leupold Alumina Threaded Lens Cover (1 Pair)

Leupold Alumina Rubber Eyepiece Guard

Leupold Alumina Flip Open Covers

Leupold Zero Point Bore Sighter

A friend was telling me that they have tactical dials for the vx3 as in adjustment for wind and bullet drop instead of having to get the custom dials :dunno:

Thank you for the info you provided

I ordered a VX3 8.5-25x50 with 30mm Maintube a few weeks ago, and that one came with target turrets.

So I think they are available.  Just depends on what modle you get
