Simply the best scope for the price on the market period. After 60 years of hunting and having many many scope it’s the best thing you can do to help your hunting
I just bought the vx-3hd 3.5-10x40 with the illuminated reticle. My first expensive scope lol definitely worth money. So far very nice and clear can't wait to pop some deer this year!
Yes, love those Mauser’s, and the Sauer’s, very nice. I have only found them around $650 ish and up. But thats me. I was looking at 7-08’s and .308’s. Maybe a year or 2 ago. That shot great! Those were some groups for 200yds.! I will never see any shot that long. Lol Guess its Fed. for the win. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
My A-Bolt .270 absolutely LOVE’s Federal 130gr soft points! Sub .50 MOA groups. I tested a bunch of the high end loads and the plain Jane “cheap” Federals grouped the best! It’s my whitetail gun and the deer hate it! 😊
+1 have the same scop,e its bright as bright gets, excellent looking 270 thanks for the video get 50yard mark and .5 moa , the same group will show at 200yard. good tip to follow cheers Friend on the north snowy hat
Nice video. As a newbie, I'd like to know typically how many shots people use to measure the grouping? Three shots? I am going to zero my red dot and test my carbine at various distances this weekend.
You CAN'T tell anything with 1 three-shot group. You need three 5-shot groups OR five 3-shot groups, the standard gun magazines use. I was shooting with a friend who was using open sights on a 308 M1A. His first 3- shot group at 600 yards was 1/2 inch!!!
I'm still pissed at Leupold, for allowing the sale of their excellent Alumina scope covers, which still state "Reduced cost to fit your earlier production scope", and for well over a year, their Custom Shop has been closed. And I have expensive covers and an older scope sitting here, reminding me of their poor customer service.
@@drdrake63 With respect, kind sir, if you were to spend over $200 for a quality accessory from a reputable company with the expectation they would stand behind it, only find they had ceased doing so, and no recourse, I would not like to see your reaction. Of course, this is your wonderful channel, and if this detracts, by all means, it will be removed.
@@happyhome41I have been collecting rifles for 60+ years and have more leupold scopes them most big box stores and they are the very best scope on the US market for the price and their warranty IS the VERY BEST! Of the hundreds of their scopes only one had a problem and it came in a rifle I bought used and they replaced it with a new one no questions asked! They are NOT perfect if you want Perfect then you couldn’t afford to buy one!
@@edwardabrams4972 You miss the point. They sell parts that they assert can be fitted by their custom shop, and since COVID, they no longer provide the service. So I have expensive covers unable to use. They took my money and failed to provide the promised service.
I just ordered that very scope a few days ago. I’m like a kid at Christmas right now waiting for it to arrive!!
The 200 yard group you shot with those Federal 130s is worth celebrating, Dave.
Yep surprised me!
Simply the best scope for the price on the market period. After 60 years of hunting and having many many scope it’s the best thing you can do to help your hunting
Very impressive shooting typical accuracy from hunting grade rifles has come a long way from the rifles & ammo I hunted with back in the 1980's
Agreed.
Good looking rifle and scope. Thanks for the video and shooting.
Thanks for this review as am looking for a 270. Leupold is my go to scope and that rifle is pretty cool!
I'm all over the Mauser M18. Top grade gear
This was a practical review, relating products to real world hunting applications. No extra fluff or hype... I subscribed !!
You certainly proved that Mauser to be a real shooter. Super nice to know it isn't "ammo dependent".
Beautiful range.
I've had good luck with federal loads.
great looking range you have their the people who Lock after it need a pat on the back , that rifle is very nice as well
Great vid . I really like your summation. Quality
I just bought the vx-3hd 3.5-10x40 with the illuminated reticle. My first expensive scope lol definitely worth money. So far very nice and clear can't wait to pop some deer this year!
I’m using 143 grain eldx bullets for my 6.5 mossberg patriot creedmoor just bought the luepold 3HD can’t wait to test it

I got the Sauer 100 which is nearly the same rifle.
Well made firearms!
I got a vx-3hd with the high backcountry rings sitting on my bargara 300 win mag very nice set up you have there I must say
Really enjoyed the video!
All I’ve ever used for elk hunting is the Federal premium 130 grain. Never more than one round per elk.
130 grain nice. What rifle do you shoot?
Id run alil more federal an adjust to it but very good group at 200yd. Have a good weekend
+1 have the same scop,e its bright as bright gets, excellent looking 270
thanks for the video
get 50yard mark and .5 moa , the same group will show at 200yard.
good tip to follow
cheers
Friend on the north snowy hat
I've got the same results with that Federal ammo
Wish I could find more of it
@@drdrake63 we know you ran down n poked holes in that target with a nail - you're not fooling us 😆
Nice video. As a newbie, I'd like to know typically how many shots people use to measure the grouping? Three shots? I am going to zero my red dot and test my carbine at various distances this weekend.
You might want to check the color saturation on your video.
What is difference between the vx3 and 5?
Where is the rifle range?
Federal just makes solid ammo.
You CAN'T tell anything with 1 three-shot group. You need three 5-shot groups OR five 3-shot groups, the standard gun magazines use. I was shooting with a friend who was using open sights on a 308 M1A. His first 3- shot group at 600 yards was 1/2 inch!!!
i do that with my Mosin-Nagant all the time with the right ammo!
What height rings are those Backcountry rings? High?
They must be. The mediums hit the power ring on the base section of the mount on a VX3.
Nice scope!!!
Federal is doing something right all my rifle loves Federal ammo except for my rim fires
Typical for the win!!!
Different brands of ammo same grain will not shoot the same. Have to use to same brands and grain.

THAT’S your reason for being pissed?

I have done that with iron sights on my SKS ! Surly you can do better than that 😁!
.....but forgot to take a picture? lol
@@drdrake63
Don't need pictures ! I have the rifle and the secret bullets ! 😁
3-round groups are not statistically relevant. 5-round ones are. This test is invalid.
for a hunting rifle they are quite relevant. for my precision rifles i do ten shot groups.
