LETMGROW Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Has anyone seen the new Leupold VX-L scope? The objective is shaped so the scope can be mounted closer to the barrel. I saw it in the Shooting Times magazine I got today. I'm going to check their website also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE Mu local dealer has one for sale. Its.....different. Anyone notice that it uses an Argon/Krypton gas blend instead of Nitrogen to make it weatherproof? Is this because this scope does not seal as tight as the "normal" profiled scopes so they had to change the gas to something with larger molecules. I dunno. I am thinking about getting one. I do like the theory behind the notched objective. But they aint cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE I think I will wait on this one to see how well they hold up. What is the going price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE [ QUOTE ] What is the going price? [/ QUOTE ] Retail prices are like: $699.95-$1,199.95 depending on model and these seem to be common price ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE By common, I meant that's the going price in popular hunting optics stores like SWFA, Bear Basin, Cabelas, Midsouth, Natchez, etc for the VX-L scopes. Whether they are worth that, I dunno. I would rather have another AR15 than a Leupy scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE I'm wondering, how will this sell? Pricey,but a nice concept. Radical isn't always a good merchandising strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Hunt Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE The name alone will sell the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Re: NEW LEUPOLD SCOPE I held and looked through one last weekend at the Kinsey dealer show in Hersey PA. It appears to be a well built Leupold scope...crystal clear and hardly notice the bottom notched out. The idea is nice...notch it out to keep the line of sight lower with the bigger objective. Little pricey for me...but neat idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
