leupold 4.5-14 40mm matte
« on: March 08, 2005, 05:04:20 AM »
i have a couple of questions regarding this scope.

1. what's the best price on this scope that anyone knows of?

2. does it have an adjustable objective? i've seen is different catalogs where this model appears to have the adj. objective and then i go to the leupold website and it appears that it doesn't. is there really any big advantage in having an adj. obj.? whoops, thats 3 questions. the scope will be going on a .300wsm.

thelaw,

It will be difficult to find a price that is not the same with all retailers.  Leupold has a Unilateral Pricing Policy, so all retailers must sell at that price.  So when looking around, the price will be identical among all retailers.  The new VX-III 4.5-14x40's do not have an adjustable objective.  That is something new for Leupold with this model.  I personally think that it was not a good idea to get rid of it on the 4.5-14 size.  If you are going to use it primarily for big game type hunting, the adjustable objective is not needed. If you going to use it for small game & varmint hunting, then I would consider trying to find one with an AO.
