Title: Quigley-Ford Scopes
Post by: Bluemoon on July 31, 2020, 12:00:40 PM: I am not a reloader, I find a round I like and stick with it. I have been reading about and following these scopes for about the past two years. But I was rather apprehensive to spend the monies they are asking for them. My loyalty has been to Leopold but after ordering their VX5 and waiting for 6 months and getting nothing but excuses on why I haven't received it I canceled my order to give Quigley-Ford a try. Dealing with them was a total pleasure, I even received a call from the CEO confirming my order. I placed my order on July 22nd and was told it would take 3 to 4 weeks to go through customs (coming from Canada). It arrived today just 9 days later. So this weekend I am going to have some fun getting it dialed in and popping some gophers.
This one will be going on my X-bolt 6.5 using the Hornady 143 ELD-X. I will keep you all posted on what I think of it. If it does half as good as their customer service I will be very happy and you will be seeing some VX3's coming up for sale on here.

I've tried them and prefer dialing the turret. Its just more accurate for me. I can't shoot 6" groups at cold bore 965 yards with a reticle scope but can with turrets. I used to use a Shepherd dual plane scope but found that past 500 yards I couldn't get the accuracy I could with dialing turrets. With practice though it should be a lot easier than dialing turrets if you can get the accuracy.

Looking forward to hearing how you like it.

.p.s. did you try to order from Leupold directly ? They have at times very slow customer response time and tracking systems.
