Leupold VX2 3X9

I bought a new scope for my custom Roberts.

      I prety much new what I wanted, I bought a VX2  3X9.

I bought cause to me, thats the classic scope on a classic rifle (03 springfield) in a classic round. Of course it seems an apropriate scope too.

      I took the rifle out to the woods to shoot right after mounting.

   And I am really happy with it. Ya know I have about 7 or 8 other leupolds. mostly low power but 1 is a vari X 3, 3.5X10.  The new one is the only 3X9 in the bunch.

      Its better than I anticipated. And in my opinion this scope is as solid as a rock, opticly very good , and is as I have been saying since I bought my 1st leupold 25 years ago. The scope to judge all others by.

   I will be needing 2 more scopes as 2 other projects are completed.

   My 06 was going to get another 2X7 VX2 and likly still will , cause its a little smaller and lighter and thats what I want in that rifle.

   My improved roberts I was leaning to a new nikkon monarch 2.5X10. But now I don't know.

    The nikkon might be a little clearer opticly , I am not sure.

    But I will say with confidence. When in doubt , about a scope go with a leupold. and a 3X9 is aprporiate for most anything.

     it would be a little silly on my 45/70 but it would just fine on any other rifle I own, and if I missed game, it would not beacuse of the scope.
