    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    Fair enough. Poor example. I had just taken the pic for a different post and thought I would drop it in here in reference to the low light discussion from earlier. We normally have the light attached to the rifle and its pointed the other dirrection. The point I was trying to make was that not...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRTS 3-12

    Thanks for the update. I will try to get some better pics tomorrow, that's the best I could do this late. I always love messing with mine after dark to get really good comparisons though. When it's this dark, you will find things that you never noticed before. You can find CA, but also what...

    Btw, this is my definition of low light!

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRTS 3-12

    Ok, so here goes MY OPINION.... oh boy, hold on to your hat! I do think that depending on what you plan on doing with it, that you may prefer one over the other, but for a DMR type rifle, I really don't think you can go wrong with either one of them for what they cost. I really think that you...

    Yeah, I will probably pick one of these up for my 6.5 gas gun. Dont really think it would be ideal for a bolt gun in this role. But maybe, I might have to find out in a few months. I have to spread my purchases out.

    The farthest I plan on using it for elk is 400. I have, in the past used a 6.5 at 597 and it worked fine. I really don’t plan on using it past 400 though. I was just in a situation that we really couldn’t get any closer. This was definitely not the norm. We can usually get inside 400 and...

    Maybe PM the original poster on this. Not sure how this applies to this thread.

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    Pictures were taken facing west, there is a neighborhood on the east side of our property. I did grab my binos and face the east at sunrise and it just made it harder. The contrast between the brighter sky and the darker ground made it tougher to pull out detail. As you can see, in some of...

    Same. I've turned into a multiplatform optics snob over the years. I have 4 pretty good DSLR camera bodies and approximately 7 Canon L lenses. My wife is currently using my Canon EOS 1 Dx mk2 while her Nikon D4s is at Precision camera in Austin getting repaired. She was covering a football...

    I had no idea until you said it. I have read some pretty good reports on rockslide about them, but hadn't done much digging on here as I've been a way for a while. That's what I get for not researching first on the hide.

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    Dont take this the wrong way, but I was impressed with the Vx5 when I looked thru it. Like I said, i was impressed with the weight, glass, color rendition, CA, etc. It was even good in low light. I just wasn't impressed with the QC. I may try and borrow one from a buddy. He lives 3 hrs...

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    I actually looked into it alot. I really like the magnification range, size, and weight. I'm just kinda turned off by leupold right now. I had problems with a Vx3i a few years ago. They eventually made it right on the 3rd try and sent me a new scope. The first one I had wouldn't track...

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    Well, unfortunately that's what its turned into. I asked for recommendations on a light weight mountain rifle scope. Preferably SFP. That turned into a pissing match of how FFP is just as good in low light bc there is always enough light to see a FFP reticle even in low light..... I tried...

    We have a scientific research permit that allows us to hunt after legal hours, with night vision, thermals, spotlights, suppressors, no caliber restrictions, etc. It also allows us to hunt from vehicles. They are very limited and take alot of work to get. We have 2 Doctors on staff. One is a...
