I agree! I still have many Leupold scopes that have been mounted for years and do have some with the LR Duplex and B&C reticle and work great! I don't have any quarrels with Leupold! I've only had this one to send back and am very confident they will take care of it!

Just dial them up and down for a while... you'll see why! Returning to zero... That's where the issues have been determined! FWIW!... I have about a dozen Lupy's that have held zero if I never moved the turret! I have one VX6-HD and three VX-5HD's. This is the first that I have to send back...

No doubt their warranty is top notch! I am thankful of that!

Walk it with a scouting mind and determine the route deer will take or would take to travel through your prized border property. Maybe sneak a peak of the 500+ property to help figure it out. Next… fill your ATV spray tank with a defoliant ( can’t name compounds) and begin to create the path to...

Be very careful! There lots of Social Security scams going around in the past year!

We have a slightly different species down here that come out every year or two years. When they emerge as nymphs... they climb trees and anchor claw into the wood before shedding.... splitting the exoskeleton and becoming a big flying insect that makes lots of noise in the evening and night time.

Cicadas have very broad flat heads. We get to see them down here. When they emerge… they make a sound at night that will make your hair stand up if you're not used to hearing them.

Not cicadas

Well... I had a VX-5HD that went wacky so sent it to Leupold for repair. They immediately sent back an RMA number to return for repair. Upon arrival I received an email saying expect 8 weeks for the repair or reply. Not throwing rocks!... Understand this!...I'm completely OK with that if they...

I’ve never tried 3031 but have had wonderfully accurate loads with 165-185 grain and Varget.

About to try out a new to me Springfield Redline 308 with 20" Carbon barrel. I’ve heard mixed reviews about em. I'll be trying my loads for my other 20" steel barrel 308. Hopefully they like the same so I can use it in both.

No worries my friend… it’s only practice but I see you are a ways from me. If you ever come down south of Alexandria send me a notice and you are welcome to come shoot with me. I can always use the practice too!

Both Varget and IMR 4064 have worked well for me from 20" up to 26" with heavy bullets. CFE 223 and H335 will make the lighter bullets sizzle.

Where in La are you located. I'm in central La. and have a range that you are welcome to come shoot with me.
