Very well recommended - Leupold VX-3i 6.5-20x50mm Side Focus CDS Riflescope

Heinrich8000's Review of Leupold VX-3i 6.5-20x50mm Side Focus CDS Riflescope
Leupold scopes are from all scope brands I have tested myself, the best ones in my
opinion. You can hate Leupold, you can love Leupold. But you will hardly find any
better scope for your hard earned bucks. What I love about this scope is that it
holds perfectly 0. Even when you use calibers with hard punishing recoil, Leupold
survives them and gives you enough windage and elevation in your turrets.
But also for a 22 lr Leupold is perfect. I love to shoot small 1 shot holes at 100
yards. I have tried even a Nightforce Benchrest rifle scope. It did shoot very well
also but I needed a 20 MOA mount since there was too few windage.
With the Leupold VX-3 I had enough windage and elevation at 100 yards. The guy at
the range who worked there for plenty of years said me that it is impossible to hit
well at 100 yards with a 22.lr and regular standard velocity ammo.
The more he was stunned when I made it to shoot 1/4 MOA groups with 22 lr CCI Standard,
Savage Mark 2 TRR, and Leupold 6.5-20x50 EFR VX-3 regularly. I know it is an old scope but
it works outstandingly well. I had just few money for a rimfire rifle mount so I did go
with a regular BKL 25,4mm mount.
All scopes run out of elevation adjustment at 100 yards.
Only with the Leupold I had enough windage to shoot at that
distance with 22lr without needing a 20 MOA mount or any
other additional accesoires.
This scope shoots right out of the box 1/4 MOA groups with
the right rifle, ammo and mount. When thinking what you pay
for other brands, it´s crazy.
The range guy said with open mouth, dude.... you have beaten
the system ! You have made what other guys dream of !!! And
yes, I was also happy giving him high 5 ! It´s so great to
see how many people are happy to join your success when having
the right hardware. He tried to do as I did and shot a nice
1 hole group. What you could expect more for your hard earned
bucks ? So my advice is to try it out yourself !
You won´t be disappointed. I have tried out Leupold now for
more than 10 years and never was disappointed once for chosing
a Leupold scope whether it was an expensive one or a cheap one.
