Guest 6.5 X 55 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi, Just wondering if anyone ahs had any experience with the Leupold VX-3 8.5-25x50mm LRT and the Varmint reticle? I can get the scope at a very good price direct from the USA so wondered how they compare to other makes. Ive had a few leupolds and have found them to be very good. http://www.leupold.com/hunting-and-shooting/products/scopes/vx-3-riflescopes/vx-3-8-5-25x50mm-long-range-target/ reticle here: http://www.leupold.com/lightbox/features/varmint-hunters-reticle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent focus, clear picture out to 400 yrds (probably further, but haven't shot them that far), positive clicks, holding zero etc. I shall be selling one of mine soon, so if you are interested let me know, best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weejohn Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I found the one i had an excellent scope. The bad points with it like other leupolds is mainly the eye relief, also if the rear eye piece has loosened at all the cross hairs move around.

no bull Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have had one and cant fault it in fact I have 3 leupolds now In my opinion if there set up correctly there will be no issues with eye relief and all come with a lifetime warranty.

NICK Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have a 6.5x20 and a 8.5x25. They both track very well and return to zero with no problem. Furthest i shoot is 900 yards and they work a treat. Down sides to me are terrible poor light performance and the eye relief varies with magnification. If you are target shooting or daylight vermin/deer they work well. Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
