Time to build a new rifle.

The VX 6 is a nice piece of glass , Leupy got their shit together finally with the newer stuff in the line .

Yes they did. I have many VX-3's and a VX-7 that I really love, but they quit the VX-7, probably couldn't sell many being up in the Swarovski price range, but mine is awesome.

Update on the build. So I went with the Leupold VX-6 3-18x44, however we might have a problem. Since my rifle is still in the build phase I decided to mount the scope on a .270 weatherby that I had built a few years back and took it antelope hunting a few weeks ago. After dropping my buck at 451 yards I think that scope has found a new home on this rifle, so will probably be shopping for another scope for this current build. The current build rifle is all assembled and we are just waiting on the stock from manners. According to there emails I should see it around December but after reading a few posts about their timelines I think I'm looking closer to February.

Consider the Meoptas if you are looking for another scope. I have a couple R1s I picked up from another member that are great. The Meopros use the same glass, but aren't built as tough and have a 1" tube instead of 30mm. They easily keep up with my VX 7 for clarity and light transmission.

UPDATE
got an email from Manners and my stock is finished and in the mail to Mark Channlynn, should be delivered today. I talked to mark and he said that everything should be ready for pickup in a week or two. Manners says lead time for a stock is 16 to 20 weeks, it was 26 weeks and a day from order date to delivery.

If you like that scope that much just get another one
