Title: Sportsman's deal of the Day...
Post by: JoshT on January 24, 2009, 03:06:36 PM: Took the boy to Sportsman's Warehouse in Federal Way to look at animals today. Swung by the optics department and look what I found for $319... VX-III 3.5-10... I'm stoked. Strapped it to the .25-06 when I got home... match made in heaven baby. I'll shoot it till spring... then send it off for a turret.

I'v owned a bunch of Leupolds... but this is the first VX-III... and I must say I'm very impressed. Up untill now, my favorite scope in this class was the Zeiss Conquest 3-9... the Leupold kicks it's ass. Can't wait to get a nice M-1 turret installed... then it'll be the perfect scope.
