Leupold VX2 ??

[zebra26]

I'm looking to upgrade my scope from a 100 buck Bushnell to something better.

Thinking of the Leupold VX 2 3-9 x 40. I also have heard good thngs about Nikon but the warranty on the Leupold is hard to beat.

Anyone had experience with these, good and bad? I would appreciate any input.

Good stuff.
Have one on my 358 and one on my T-bolt of all things.
Few others in different numbers too.

The VX-2 are a great scope for the money.
I have a 3-9 by 40 and it is rock solid.

We bought the Faja a 40mm VX. He fell with the rifle and busted the stock while draging a deer out of the woods. The scope got a good smack and a nice gouge in the objective bell. I restocked the rifle for him and re-zeroed the scope. All good, no damage it took it like a champ.

Go check Nikon's warranty. I believe they now have a no-questions-asked full coverage warranty too.

I've tried several....Leupold, Nikon, Bushnell, Weaver.

After years, I've kept my Leupolds.....mosty fond of the VX 2 1-4x20mm.

Leupold for North American rifles and Zeiss or Swarovski for European rifles

They're a very good scope. Can't go wrong with a Leupold.

Well they sure as heck didn't a few years ago. Wouldn't go good for problems I experienced with a pair of binoculars. That was both my first and last Nikon product.

Unfortunately that center has been closed, everything now goes through Ontario.

Sorry to hear that, send me a PM if you wish to elaborate.

Well ####. That was half the reason I wanted to get a Nikon. The idea of NOT having to ship my stuff across the country was very appealing...

Best warranty is one you never use, we strive to attain that.

Nikon did me good. I mailed in an old pair of mangled 10x42 Monarch's and today in the mail they sent me a brand new set. I'm happy!

I have an older L (34 Years) that is on its 2nd .338 WM. The biggest reason for an adjustment is fooling with bullet weights from 185 gr Barnes to some old 300 gr Barnes Original. Using 210 NP it just doesn't move - Never had to test the Warranty ... There is a 3x9 Rifleman on an old Savage .06, I'm sure that's what makes that rifle look good ... I have an older M8, straight 6 that is looking for a home, on one of my rifles here at home ..

I have the vx2 3-9x40 CDS. Great scope.

Same here

I don't have any Nikon scopes but have Nikon rangefinder and binos, top shelf quality items.

I still have a Leupy VX II 3-9 from 1980, good/clear as the day I bought it.
