[QUOTE="fourinone, post: 87771, member: 3650"] One thing that I've noticed not mentioned yet is that Leupold for the most part only has a 3 fold power change range where as Nightforce has a four fold power change range. If money were no object I'd buy the Nightforce...But money does slow me down on the scope inventory. I have bought the Nikon Tact. Scope for my hunting rig. I think Leupold should use the known aftermarket modifications in their production of the VX-III scopes, as far as the tracking system goes. The VX-III should have the fourfold power change range and etched reticle too. For those who don,t know what I mean by the four fold/three fold power change range....It's for the variable scopes only. The lowest power setting divided into the highest power setting either divides into by 3 or by 4. You get for example Leupold a 4.5-14 or with a 4-fold scope 4-16. I know that the 4.5-14 isn't exactly 3 but the actual Leupold power isn't exactly 4.5-14 either. Now as far as light weight goes...you could always looses a couple of pounds with diet & exercise. goodgrouper I'm not picking on you at all. You have impressed me like very few others, I enjoy your post and bragg about you to my freinds when talking guns & shooting. Thanks for all that you share with us. [/QUOTE]
