Best scope for the money and a real value - Leupold VX-2 3-9x40mm Rifle Scope

I have been a fan of Leupold optics for years. I have the Vari-X II in glossy finish on my first rifle, Remington 700 ADL .30-06. I sold that rifle years ago and regretted it.

Later I bought a Browning X-Bolt .30-06 FLD and bought this updated VX-II. The older one I had needed a coin or screwdriver to adjust W/E. This newer model has turrets you can adjust with your fingers. A huge improvement over the older model.

About 5 years ago I called the man I sold that ADL to. His son didn't take up hunting like he wanted so it sat in the safe for a long time. He sold it back to me for exactly what I he bought it for. I got my rifle back.

The Gold Ring warranty is bullet proof. I removed the scope and sent it back to Leupold for repair. The scope was 80% rebuilt. The only thing they could not do was add the finger adjustable turret. Oh well.

All scope manufactures offer a lifetime warranty on their scopes. They had to in order to compete with Leupold. Not all warranties are the same. Leupold offers the lifetime warranty no matter how old the scope or who currently owns it.

Springfield Armory offers a lifetime warranty only if the current owner is the ORIGINAL owner. If you sell your SA firearm the lifetime warranty is void. Hmm.
