Great optic! - Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm Rifle Scope

I currently have this mounted on a 1976 Ruger .44 Carbine. What a great combo. Turn it down to 3x for ultra fast target acquisition, and up to 9x for more precision at longer ranges. And of course, because it's Leupold, you know that the optical clarity is excellent. I've had cheaper 50mm obj scopes that have less light transmission than this. I bought a VX-1 because the gun wasn't used nearly enough to justify the VX-3 model. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one! Leupold''s value line is better than most manufacturers higher level offerings.
