Wanted: lightweight 3-18x scope

[270-300]

An individual having success is about the lowest level of evidence. You want to see how they have performed for many many people to have some confidence that what you have experienced isn’t just luck.

I only care how they perform for me. Other people dont do the same thing i do.

You do you.

I’ve owned 6 vx-6hd. Zero now.

What killed 6 of them?

Nothing. Just decided to move to something more reliable. My 4-24 would always have a different zero and I just thought that was normal for the longest time.

I once thought i had a scope doing that, until i took the time to do the math on the always varying 15-35 mph cross winds we have every single day here. Its amazing how little wind it takes to be off 1" at 100 yards, and how that will play with elevation depending on wether it blows to or away from the direction of the rifling. Some days im over 10 feet of wind drift at 600 yards.

Did you answer forms questions?

You've been here less than a month and I feel like atleast half of your 243 posts have been trying to convince everyone there is no issue with Leupold, vortex or other scopes. Why are you wasting so much time trying to justify your use of them. Just do you, we dont care. Plenty of them out there new and used for you.

Can you post a link to that?





You had a guy calling you names? Can you link that post?




This one too if you can.

Must be buried somewhere in this post:

You lost me at 22 250 barrel life. I have one that will shoot sub 3" groups at 500 yards in 35 mph wind and that barrel is older than most people on here. Most of my rifles dont see 15 shots in any given year. Im too busy hunting and hiking around the mountains to go blow thousands of rounds at a range.

The Trijicon Accupoint 3-18X50 is light comparatively speaking. Above average glass, tough as nails and reasonably priced.

You’ve never had a problem until one day you lean your rifle against a tree and it falls over and then you’ll wish you hadn’t ignored the dropper cult

Been there with a razor LHT

Can I ask why your recommendation of research? You don’t believe the VX6 is a good scope? Reviews seem positive.

In short, no.

The Luepy hate is a thing. I have killed a pile of animals over the years. The interwebz might call me a liar. Whatever you buy, learn how to mount properly. Shoot it and test it. Then test it a little more. I will say this. There has NEVER been an optic brand that has NOT had some kind of failure. That is a fact. Buy what works for you and your price range. Go hunt and have fun!!
