My wife always tells me to buy me a scope for Father's Day to wrap up and give me from my 2 boys. I think it just a wonderful plan!! This year I've been working on my new 308 Hunter and decided that I would try the FX-ll 6x36 LR Duplex.
We'll today it arrived. I always have my parts sent to my shop, considering I practically live there, and unboxed it to check it before I give it to my wife for wrapping. Everything looked as you would expect. Then I spun off a turret cap to find out they are just like the Rifleman line slotted adjusted turrets!! I am not a big fan of that style and certainly didn't expect that on the FX line of scopes. I'm real dissappointed to say the least. I love Leupold scopes, have quite a few, but this really bothered me.
I should have done a tad bit more research I guess. Generally I'm pretty thorough, but this one got by me.
I could have got a VX-1 or VX-2 2x7, same reticle and saved some money or broke even. Either way I'll be slapping it on my rifle and getting after it here Sunday afternoon!!!
