[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2761332, member: 123662"] About 7 years ago I was watching a long range shooting video with Todd Hodnett, where he had his students remove their scope and pass it to the guy to the right. Everyone sighted in and carried on shooting. Got me thinking. I gathered up all my $300-$500 scopes (3-9x and higher), vx3’s, Vortex, Swarovski, Leica’s and a Nightforce and sold them. (Kept all my LPVO scopes) I bought two VX6 3-18x56 and put one in a LaRue QD mount (for AR platform) and one in Leupold steel rings for bolt actions w picatinny mounts. Theses two scopes floated between 8-10 rifles for about 5 years. I don’t regret it at all. I got really good at getting sighted in in 3-4 rounds. Yeah, it was a bit of an inconvenience, but to be able to use really good glass, it was worth it. Since then I have added another VX6 4-24 and an Arken … just to have an alternate. Anyone else do this? [/QUOTE]
