I've been on a search for some 80s-90s gloss riflescopes and in the process I ended up with a 6.5-20x40 AO Leupold VX-3.
Actually, I was in the bourbon one night and was afraid I might not find any acceptable optics between now and rifle season so I bid on SEVERAL at once from GB lol.
Fortunately, I ended up with a couple VX-2 C models and a Bushnell Elite 3200 all in a 3-9x which fit my criteria for my deer rifles.
My question is…what do I do with this thing now? How practical is a 6.5-20x optic for "around here"?
I've got a .300WM that currently has a 3.5-12 (or maybe 14..?) that I could swap out for this one as I do hunt CO and UT for Elk occasionally…but I've ever been unhappy with my current optics magnification.
