Lightly used Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 with duplex reticle.

This scope came on an Echols Classic that was previously a safe queen. I had D'Arcy make a set of 30mm rings and haven't used this scope. Other than being zeroed, I doubt it has ever been used. Faint ring marks, perfect glass.

$400 shipped

Thanks,

Chet

@ChetAF - great scope and I own 3 of them, very versatile and all the magnification I’ve ever needed. I paid $399 NEW but that was a few years ago

That's the scope I have said n my .300 WM. It's a good one. Leupold also warranties all of their scopes, even if not the original buyer.
 
Thanks guys. The Vari-X models are hard to find in this condition nowadays. I already have two others, so I just don't have a use for this one.
 
Many years ago when I purchased my .340 Weatherby MV stainless I knew what scope I wanted to put on it, and it was the Leopold VXIII 3.5-10x40 Silver. It took me a few years before I found one on sale but after installing it I have never regretted it.

That's still a great price for a great scope.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
