I’m getting horizontal strings with my rifle. I thought it was my rifle so I had it bedded. Still doing it. I don’t want to blame leupold till I try another scope on it. Idk what else it could be but the scope.
My vx3 I believe is f’ed up. Haven’t had a chance to test other scopes on the rifle. That rifle was a tack driver. I generally don’t even consider leupold stuff.
My buddy has a weaver tactical model, I forget what it is. He hasn’t had any issues with his.
Weaver optics is dead. They were bought by bushnell and bushnell stopped production of the weaver optics. They r still honoring weavers warranty but if u need a replacement, you are going to get a bushnell in the same price range.
Nikon are good scopes. I use them when I need a cheaper scope. I thought I read a month or so ago that they discontinued their lifetime warranty.
Edit: I did a quick search, they discontinued their no fault warranty. So if u damage the scope they will no longer fix it
I saw 7-8 does this morning. 1 doe was pushed out but I had no shot. Then I had a small group come in but I could hear something behind them, the does kept looking back. I was hoping it was a buck so I did not take a shot on a doe. If there was a buck, I did not see him.
I got my unrestricted permit right off the bat in 2002 in Oswego county. Everyone that I know that got their permit after me got the sportsman restriction. My father is a business owner that has a lot of cash and he was restricted. My wife got her restriction taken off last year.
No first focal plane reticle will change size when dialing the magnification ring. Better than I can explain below lol

If you hunt coyotes at night I would go second focal plane. Reticle can get lost at night if they are too thin or small.
For me, I use a first focal plane optic on my current deer rifle but I picked something with a illuminated reticle for closer range.
Guess I can convert my desert tech srs a1 to a muzzle loader.

I have a chronograph that I used for paintball but I don’t have a tripod for it. When we Chrono our paintball markers, someone would always shoot it lol. I figure this will be faster to set up at the range and it shouldn’t get shot.
