Post by: carpsniperg2 on April 10, 2012, 12:29:18 PM: 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:

Post by: bobcat on April 10, 2012, 12:29:50 PM: How about a spotting scope, GPS, rangefinder, new bow, or muzzleloader. :twocents:

Post by: marlin on April 10, 2012, 12:32:14 PM: My new favorite gun is a Mak 90, so if I had $1k to spend I would probably get a second AK and a ton of ammo! Its so hard to decide what to spend it on when there is so much stuff to possibly buy! My bday is one week from today also, I already know Im getting a new bow. There is a gun show in Centralia the 14-15

Post by: NW-GSP on April 10, 2012, 12:34:56 PM: at a quick glance it looks like I could get the scope and muzzle loader, I got to shoot a friends knight big horn and really liked it

Post by: Todd_ID on April 10, 2012, 05:17:57 PM: You've already got guns and scopes....what time does OUR flight to Vegas leave? :chuckle:

I say put the money into optics. Great optics will make you happy for a lifetime. A gun is cool for a while and then spends eternity in the safe.

Post by: Rob on April 11, 2012, 10:40:15 AM: 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

Post by: Rob on April 11, 2012, 02:52:36 PM: 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
