I am considering replacing my Leupold 25x for a Leupold 30x.
I need a new scope for my Remington 700 I'm .308 and I am considering a 30x to go along with my 25x.

Small bore silhouette rifle would get one and the model 700 would get the other.

Is the 30x worth the extra cash?

I think instead of the 30x you should just get a 18-40x with a premier boost. Oh, did I mention I was considering selling my 18-40x with a premier boost?

That is one heck of a coincidence!


What are you going to replace it with? A Leupold scope boosted to 80x?

Please send me a PM on how much you want to sell it for - I have 1 and would like another. Thanks

They are great scopes.

I think I want to go to a fixed 25 like I have for smallbore.

That is what I am thinking for my cheapie high powered rifle.
I hope to use the cheapie rifle for medium range steel plates. Nothing much further than 600 yards.

I wish I saw this post earlier. I want to swap out my Leupold 30x for another 25x. No problem with the 30x but I just want to have the same scope on both my silhouette rifles.

Hey Ghost, I have new 25's (66850) back in the shop. $500 TYD

Thanks Pete. I was thinking about trying to find someone that wanted to trade scopes, but your price is pretty tempting. I'll have to consider this some more after I get back from vacation.

Pete,
Can you give me contact information for your store. It looks like you have good prices on scopes.
Thanks
Joe

I purchased a Leupold FX25 from Pete and has great service to go with his great prices.

Leupold is no longer producing and stocking the FX-3 line of Silhouette scopes. I have been told that they will be available through the custom shop although right now they are out of some of the necessary parts to build them. I have one on order as a test and will report when I find out more.

Pete,

Are you saying that you cannot get the FX-3 in 25x40 with a 1/2 min. dot reticle?

Crap, I wanted one for my Remington 700!

Any idea if the Custom Shop made ones are going to jump up significantly in price?

I've been told there will be a slight price increase but don't know how much yet, that why I only have one on order.
