[QUOTE="brian b, post: 19788, member: 2797"] Iron Worker, I bought my 8.5x25 L.R. a couple year's ago and they were in the 7 to 750.00 range,just this year Leupold changed thing's up and are now calling the scope a vx-III instead of a vari-xIII 8.5x25 long range.in theroy they have changed the lens coating's to be a little bit better so I am sure they want a bit more coin. my scope has just the fine duplex reticle as I feel you dont really need a mil. dot if you work out a drop chart. you might regret asking me about my 6-284 rifle as it is quite strange to say the least but here goes: it has a yugoslavian single shot mauser action (tricked out to improve lock time)a trigger of unknown origin that break's crisply at 10 oz.a hand laminated fiberglass stock that is also of unknown origin a 29.5" Pac-Nor 3 groove 1-8 twist barrel,red paint and a couple hundred hour's restoration time. when I picked the gun up origionally it had a 1-10 twist Mcgowen barrel chambered in 240 olsen (try and find a reamer for that)I'm sure that was way more than what you wanted to know.just go buy a leupold 8.5x25 and live happy everafter. p.s. I shoot sierra 107 mk's and RL22 [/QUOTE]
