just slapped this scope on my new Weatherby .460 Magnum Mark V... it sits at 100 yards dead on with the Elevation set at the bottom... I have almost 70 MOA of up travel now and can shoot at 700 yards with the center of the reticle.
Leupold is nice and Nikon as well. I like them both. I also have Vortex Viper and I don't have any problem with it yet. Will buy VX6 HD in few days for long range rifle.
I just ordered the 3-15x56 mm VX-5HD because I wanted the large 56 mm objective, and the lenses are of identical quality. I thought the VX-6HD 3-18x50mm objective lens was a bit small in low light for something that goes up to 18X. I like Cabela's, however, in Canada they charge at least $300 more (+ sales tax) than Bass Pro Shops and other dealers for the VX-5 HD. And their markup in Canada is even more for the VX-6 line.
Not sure what you mean. I try to choose my words carefully. I was trying to warn Canadian customers that if they want to buy a VX-5 or VX-6 series Leupold scope, they should avoid buying it from Cabela's in Canada. For example, a 3-15x44 mm VX-5HD (Firedot duplex reticle) is 899.00 US, while it's $1399.00 CDN here. That's way more than the exchange rate, because Bass Pro shops down the road sells exactly the same model scope for $1095.00 CDN!! The 3-18x50mm VX-6HD (with the same Firedot duplex reticle) is $1699.99 at both Cabelas and Bass Pro shops in the USA, but a ridiculous $2599.99 Cdn. here. Then add 13% additional sales tax on those differences. In fact, Cabela's charges way more for pretty well all shooting supplies. Another example: At Cabela's, I just picked up some Hornady Superperformance 243 Win ammo @51.99 per box. Bass Pro Shop's price (just down the highway from Cabela's) is $39.99. The Wheeler Engineering scope mounting leveler is $80.00 at Cabela's, and $65.00 at Bass Pro Shops. Ditto for their markup on guns too. My point was to warn Canadian customers to stay away from Cabela's unless they're a masochist and enjoy paying through the nose; or the store has the item they're seeking on sale. (Which is seldom, unless it's junk.)
Where does the glass come from? I’ve asked this question on many leupold reviews and know one replies. Which makes me think China. I don’t like that thought lol
I've heard so many people say different things but they don't make it easy to find where it comes from but just cause it's made out of America doesn't mean it's bad. America doesn't have good sand to make glass on our beaches. Japan has the best sand I've heard to make glass. American sand is no good.
@@brianc6739 I haven't got my hands on it but I have full faith in it just from reading about it. Looks like a great mid class scope! They bring the value with that scope I feel like. That HD coating they put on there makes it damn near a night vision scope. It makes night time really bright and if you got any moon light it'll allow you to see pretty well at night.
dude, you got screwed for 1900 bucks, hell, you could have bought a Vortex AMG for that price, which is by the way made in the usa and twice the scope... Leupold is known in the precision rifle world for their known tracking issues and outdated features. Bet they didn't teach you that at Cabelas. Other than that, good video...
Leupold makes all their scopes in Oregon. Only their laser rangefinders are made in China. Their service and support is terrific. I called the custom shop last year for a CDS dial. Told them I was going to Africa in 2 weeks. They engraved the dial and I had it in 4 days.
anthony Landino yeah I got their top of the line range finder and it’s pretty nice and built solid but there are better and I hope that they come out with a realllllyyy far one
No Tracking issues on mine. 16.8 ounces compared to 28 ounces on the AMG. Made in America. Beautiful glass! Better than AMG to my eye. If there was a tracking issue, Leupold would back it up.
Anthony, the correct pronunciation of Leupold is "Loy-pold" or "Loy-polt", depending on the german dialect. How do you pronounce "Schwarzenegger"? The american way or the correct, german, way?

being able to run a rig like that with knowledge like that, is what shooting is all about! its a very very fun science ;)

I disagree about the Nikon. They make nice cameras but their riflescopes are POS.
I agree with you I don't care much for their scopes they are very fragile they use very thin tubes
Leupold scopes are my favorite but I can’t afford one that high of grade but I do have and like the vx3i series of Leupold scope
it's such a wonderful tight capable package
Leupold's warranty is second to none. Vortex doesn't back their product any more than Leupold does. BTW I cant stand the Chinese made Vortex.
Lance Elliott I love you. Marry me
ROFLOL!!!!!
ROFLOL!!!!!
How much trouble does the fixed parallax cause you? Do you wish you had adjustable parallax?
I unfortunately never got to shoot with it:(

@@Graysonemory I’ll buy it from Japan. I’m not interested in supporting China. Trying to avoid them as best I can.
@@brianc6739 yeah most I've heard with their high end stuff Is that it comes from Japan
@@Graysonemory do you know much about the vx3 HD model? I’ve been eyeballing that scope for weeks now.

I don’t get tHe lines that get bigger as you go down it should be the other way the further you go the line should get smaller???🧠🤯🔫
I agree 💯 it's an odd design
Medium or High scope mount?
high
What model number is this?
Honestly I would have no idea I don't have it anymore
@@Graysonemorywhat did you end up getting instead?
Traded it for a ACOG actually but didn’t end up liking the ACOG cause the rigid focal length that you need to keep your eye so I sold that as well!

Azzie Blankenship I didn't pay 1900, I can't tell you what I paid but it was rare.
I own nothing but Leupold scopes with CDS dials. Love em. Never had any problems. Just bought the VX-6 HD 4-24 x 52 for my new 6.5 Creedmoor

It’s not Leo-pold it’s Lew-pold. If you’re selling scopes you should know how to pronounce the company’s name!
every one has different ways of saying words. if you know what i'm trying to say then my way of saying the word worked.
No there’s a correct way or your way. The incorrect pronunciation.
Anthony, the correct pronunciation of Leupold is "Loy-pold" or "Loy-polt", depending on the german dialect. How do you pronounce "Schwarzenegger"? The american way or the correct, german, way?
Junk compared to Swarovski and Zeiss
😂😂😂
Definitely objective. Doesn't make you a better hunter 😜
@@Graysonemory agree. But for the price quality is not comparable to European scopes.
@@jagmeetsmann zeiss I agree but swaro? Probably the biggest rip off of any scope I’ve ever seen.
