Leupold VX-L

[grayghost]

Bought the VX-L and mounted it on my Weatherby Mark V .280. As a word of advice for those owning a Weatherby standard caliber, pay close attention to the mounts. I bought the magnum mounts instead of standard mounts and wasted several rounds of premium ammo before I discovered I couldn't lower the POI. A quick call to Leupold sorted the problem out: wrong mounts. I should have consulted Leupold before I listened to the salesman at our local BPS. For standard calibers of the Mark V, you need item #52507. The pack will read: Leupold STD Mark V Lightweight, 52507. For Mark V Magnum owners, you will need the other mounts but I don't remember the number. Remounted the VX-L, boresighted, then fine tuned. I am very pleased with the rig so far. We'll see how it performs in Africa next month, especially early morning and late evening. BWH, I look forward to meeting you and hunting dangerous game with you this season. Good hunting, grayghost
