    VX-3 Handgun 2.5-8x32 Duplex, going rate?

    I am interested in finding out what the going rate is for a Leupold VX-3 Handgun 2.5-8x32 scope? I have seen them for over $900 a few places on the internet and was wondering if any handgun hunters/shooters had any input? Thanks

    Outfitting on Public lands

    I worked with outfitters on FS for awhile, they don't pay a lot to the FS but they did a heck of a lot of trail work... Some areas get pretty locked in with dead fall over winter in burns or beetle kill.

    Pack workouts

    We use sand bags of different sizes wrapped in plastic and duct tape. We load them in the pack with a blanket or something if needed... The EXO guys have talked about using weighted blankets to fill their packs... We have a few weight vest and use them for somethings but not as much as sand bags...

    280 AI vs. 7 PRC

    We have both, 280ai is custom on an old savage action, the 7prc is a Fierce Reaper. Both are accurate and shoot better than we do but AI gets the field time. I've had the prc for 3 years, its gone bear hunting once. If I off load it, it will be replaced with a 6.5cm, 280ai, or 7saum..

    Superior 7MM?

    I have owned a 7 magnum of some sort, all my adult life... My wife's 280ai, the 7-08, and 6.5cm see more range time and feild time... I've owned a 7prc for 3 years and only taken it on 1 hunt and it has less than 200rds through it. When a 7 mag was my only, I used it more but now that I have...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I have no experience with the 6cm, or any cm other than a 6.5cm. I will say with the 6.5cm I only had 1 animal take a step. I probably only Killed 6 or 7 with it and had no complaints. I won't say any of them are wonder caridges but I think some of the more modern cartridges are more efficient...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    If you reload you could load the ai down for practice. I like the idea of having a smaller cartridge around for practice. A .223 in the same configuration wouldn't be bad. My wife shoots a 280ai but she picked up a 6 arc this year and likes shooting it way more. I have a 7prc i don't shoot much...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    It would be a slight edge, with the slightly bigger diameter and heavier bullets if a blood trail required.. My 6.5cm has more kills than my 7-08 even though I'm more of a 7mm guy. All that said, I started using a .223 last year with no complaints. The wife is going from a 280ai to a 6arc this...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I voted the 6.5cm due to ammo availability. With the listed cartridges and use described, the 6.5 or 7-08 would be fine. If you reload, or need a better blood trail, the 7-08 would have the edge. If you looking for less recoil, the 6arc might have a place and honestly, the 223.
