I recently received this response from Leupold:
---------------------------------------

The FX-II 3X scope is only available through our Custom Shop. It’s around $324. 99 plus a $20.00 handling fee. (and your state tax if you have any)

It can be ordered on the Custom Shop page on our website at: www.leupold.com

Or by calling the Custom Shop at 1 800 LEUPOLD (pacific time)

Our website is currently being updated for the new year and some options may be temporarily unavailable from time to time.

The long tube allows low mounting on long action rifles with out resorting to extention rings or bridge mounts.

An FXII 3X may soon top my 1950's vintage .375 H&H Win. Mdl. 70.

Been available for some time now.
