    Spotting scope vs binos

    Sorry, I overlooked the aspect of the 365 days a year. I'm unaware of the natives moving masses of animals off a cliff, especially when I studied history in college but I know not everything. I hunt on foot, never used atv's or trucks to preview the area. Basically, I follow the terrain, mostly...

    Spotting scope vs binos

    * That aspect could be consistent with extreme long range shooting. Exactly, what are the distances we're speaking, and are you alluding to the prairie lands and plains? The only time spotter scopes are required I shall not speak. What did the native Americans have or use that would suffice with...

    Spotting scope vs binos

    I have the Bushnell 10 x 25 Trophy binoculars (Bak 4 prism) and would not trade them for anything. In my opinion, spotting scopes are an unnecessary tool providing no more viewing options than binoculars. When one is moving in mountainous terrain or even the lowlands, it is best to travel light...

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    I've recently read about that "Wish"; know nothing other though. May have seen the info on this forum, unsure. It is somewhat disheartening to see all the manufacturing leave the U.S. Most everything is made in Asia; China, Taiwan, Philippines, etc. Even the U.S. made scopes (whatever they are)...

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    Surely, there must be some bolt people on this forum. I would like to ask a question relating to F.O.V., namely on the Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x40. The F.O.V. is 29.8 feet on the low end. How many believe this aspect is a significant factor? I do not believe that a smaller F.O.V. would negate finding...

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    You may have misconstrued the meaning thereof. I was aware of the different labels as pointed out by Washington Hunter. However, the two(2) photos initially posted relating to the VX3i were 'not' mine; taken from Ebay. The third photo is mine, not relevant to the VX3i. You may have missed...

    "fishingforsanity" has addressed this issue previously, as being correct. I did 'not' get scammed.

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    Yes, the purchase was made at Molly's Place. In fact, I just received the shipment; well before the allotted shipping time. I verified the information with Leupold, namely Ryan and Tyson in technical support. Would you know what the numbers in the bottom right corner designate (18119 11:28)? I...

    Barrel Cleaning procedures

    No offense but I've been using toothpaste for about 40 years. Naturally, I have Hoppe's no.9 and coat all my tools with Breakfree Collector (Nothing Better); lasts, and lasts, and lasts with no detrimental effects on the finish. * For my 'stainless', I use Noxon metal polish: "cleans and protects".

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    The purchase protection is covered in the stipulations of Ebay policy. I've never had any issues pertaining to the aforesaid policy, as Ebay has been more than generous in allotting a refund, including shipping costs. The price was $271.00 + $8.95 shipping. I felt that was a fairly good price...

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    Thank you very much. I did contact Leupold prior to ordering. Leupold said they would not advise anyone to purchase on Ebay. When I made mention that the vendor was 'an authorized Leupold Gold Ring dealer', Leupold first checked the information and then said "They should not be selling on Ebay"...

    Seeking Information on LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM / Determining Authenticity?

    I'm seeking some information regarding Leupold scopes, namely LEUPOLD VX-3I 3.5-10X40MM. There have been many instances of merchants selling counterfeit scopes on Ebay and elsewhere. Could any provide any insight as to how the exterior of the box is sealed and as to what, if any labels or...
