Thats suprising and not real impressive, given the price of a VX-III. My little $250 Buckmaster allows the knobs to be indexed, on a splined shaft. Bri

I am not familiar with most of the Leupolds and am probably wrong about this. I thought I read the Leupies use set screws (1 or 3) to hold the knob on the turret. Set your zero, loosten the set screws and turn your "knob" so the zero faces you, and lock the set screws down. This doesn't...

Old post, but do you still have her shooter?? Thanks. Bri

It's interesting to see that others have similar issues...and OK solutions. I've got one of the "double gun" cases that just fits my Coyote. I've been toying with building a bracket for the quad that would mount this at an angle like the gun boot, angled off the back, with the hinge down...

OK, before someone goes there, I don't "hunt" from my ATV, I use it to get to the trailhead, park it and hit the woods. Saves lots of abuse on the truck. Anyway, I'm looking for the best way to carry a "mid weight" rig on the quad with a high level of protection. I want to be able to leave...

Re: Re. nikon 1200 I just picked up mine this afternoon and mounted it on the Coyote tonight. Its a bummer to pick up a new piece of optical gear and get home in the dark . Anyway, its pretty much like you guys said, IMO nice glass, nice feeling adjustments and lots of features for the...

7RUM, did you pick up that .270 WSM Coyote yet? I just ordered rings from OpticZone (Burris Sig Series), will order the scope after the holidays, when I'm not quite so financially challanged. I'll salvage one off another rifle for now. Bri

Glad to hear all the good things about this scope, it's the one I'm planning for my Coyote. Bri
