I have recently taken ownership of a new leupold VXR 3-9x40 FireDot scope, mounted on top of a browning xbolt 300wm stainless steel carbon fiber composite stalker with a 26" fluted barrel, and my son's ruger 30-06 with a vx1 leupold 3-9x40 We are far from rich shooters, so all our savings have gone into our new toys and their set ups.. I must say that I'm very impressed with these scopes... Be it hunting pig, dear, wild dog or shooting target at the range, these scope has all that we need and much more, we have two other scoped rifles with different manufactured brands and there's no doubt in my mind with the proof on paper and out in the field that the Leupold VXR 3-9x40 FireDot scope and all the Leupold scope range leave the competition far behind. The field of view, clear lenses, moa turrets and the whole look and feel of the leupold range are second to none, with the life time warranty to back it up... piece of mind every time, in time we are hoping to be able to afford something larger in the leupold VX series however until then what we have is doing the job Leupold is definitely an outstanding product that has outstanding performance....
