Well I want to find a Leupold for my new Accura V1 and I want to go with a Leupold because the warranty, I like thier scopes and one of the range guys where I work gets them wholesale. I have not seen his prices yet that he gets them for but it is suppose to be extremely good. Went to Dick's today and looked at the ultimate slam and I felt that the circle plex was a bit cluttered, I'm sure they are great scopes I just did not like looking through it. The circle plex appeared to me to be more obstructing. Their dots beneath the duplex where nice and I like them more than the Nikon or Bushnell with the open circles beneath the duplex. Looked through a Burris FF2 and it was nice but I want to stay with a Leupold for the price I will be able to get them at. I am thinking along the lines of a VXII or jumping into a VX3 depnding on the price that I get but will probably go the VXII route in a 3x9x40 or a 3x9x50. I would even go the VXII with a custom reticle from the custom shop due to it only costing approximately $30 bucks more. I get the theory of the Ultimate slam with the corresponding dots but couldn't I just go with VXII and get M1 turrets installed to do the same thing. I will be using the rifle from woods to field egdes where I will be able to shoot up to 200-250 yrds. I'm also thinkin about just sighting in about 2" high at hundred and then it should be close around 150 yrds or a LR duplex. I believe. Most of my prior expierence with scopes has been little due to living in Ohio and only being able to use ML's and shotguns. What are everyones thoughts or ideas?
