I stepped the Scope purchase up.
« on: December 03, 2006, 04:47:17 PM »
I posted yesterday that I had choosen a Leupold Rifleman over a Nikon Buckmaster. Upon the posting here and another forum, I received alot of feedback that I should have choosen better. I really want the Leupold because of their reputation and warranty policy. After pouring it over. I had received a coupon from MidwayUSA and I decided to upgade though I don't know how much of an upgrade. I returned the  Rifleman and then ordered from MidwayUSA a Leupold VX I. I was also able to get the Leupold neoprene Scope Cover. These 2 and 2nd day shipping and handling only cost me 6 dollars more than the Leupold Rifleman I bought by itself. Im anxious to get it and mounted for shooting. What do you all think?

You won't go wrong with a Leupold, also Nikon scopes are good. The VXI is a step up from the Rifleman. You did good.

I'd take the VX-I over the Buckmaster.  Honestly, I'm not that impressed with the buckmaster.  I can't see any difference between the Nikon Prostaff and the Buckmaster.

The VX-I is a fine scope for the money.......
