Leupold VX-7 3.5-14x50mm scopes are amazing. Three turrets with the slickest idea - after turning the turret cap a certain amount outward it pops up and locks in the up position. Now you use the cap as a turret "handle" to put on clicks. No way to lose the cap, it does not remove. When finished you push down, re-engage threads and tighten into place.
This is a deluxe rig, comes with custom made metal magnetic front and rear lens covers that pop open, even one that fits inside the fast focus eyepiece.
More to come regarding optics, haven't shot this puppy yet but plan to soon.
They are premium scopes and priced appropriately. I am thinking the VX7 puts Leupold solidly into the realm of Swaro, Zeiss and S&B - plus an improved warrantee which sounds impossible given how good Leupold's current coverage is now.
30mm tube, 50mm objective, excellent matte finish, nice tactile feel on the turrets, glass looks very good, scope reeks of quality - like getting into a Lexus or Mercedes... Might have to talk to Grouper's uncle about borrowing his credit card tho - give it too big hits in one month /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
