Leupold VX3i reported tracking issues -- in the past?

[Frank Kalisz]

I use a Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x36 on a hunting rifle. I consider it a solid short range (100yard) hunting scope. Low magnification is great but eye relief gets noticeably shorter at higher magnification (4.5"-3.6"). I have no reason to dial for ranges that I use this scope but I shoot a lot and it's held zero very well for three years so far. Like anything else it's always a matter of price vs intended purpose.

Yup probably the best general purpose hunting scope under 500 bucks.

I see vx3i 3.5x10 for under 400 bucks all the time. That is alot of scope for 400 bucks and would serve 90% of the hunters during 90% of their shots. I made up the 90 % number. It could be 89 or 91 depending on the day. They are pretty solid general purpose hunting scopes.

Maybe they're lying dog-faced pony soldiers

Good vid. My first trip over there was '08.

Respect. My SIL was there then too.

All hard kickers, no problems.

Obviously another lying dog faced pony soldier. Everyone knows you can't kill anything with wood-stocked rifles. Seriously, some beautiful pieces! Love the H&Hs.

Friends vx3i can't track and he had to send it in because it wouldn't hold zero. My vx5 and vx2 cds wouldn't track hold zero and the vx5 came with a canted reticle.

I have a VX 5 that tracks great and returns to zero. I've had it on several guns without any issues. I did work with a guy who missed a big deer with a vx2 or 3 with CDS because it failed to return to zero and he shot way over the bucks back due to dialing up and then back on a prior hunt . I bought a vx6hd 6-24x52 for my 300 Norma Improved build, but my gun builder refused to mount it because in the tests he had done the reticle shifted. I sold the scope and went NXS, which is great, but it doesn't have the features the 6hd had, weighs more, costs more, and doesn't have as good of a warranty as Leupold. I'm also a first responder, but am not aware of any discounts offered currently for LE from Nightforce, but Leupold offers deep discounts.
