I just ordered six scopes from Natchez to replace some vintage 3/4” and 7/8” tubes. I think they look great on a lever but they don’t work all that great.

I bought:

2 Nikon ProStaff P3 3-9x50 matte BDC
2 Leupold VX Freedom 3-9x40 matte Rimfire MOA
1 Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-4x20 matte Pig-Plex
1 Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x50 matte Duplex

and six rings of various heights.

I’m not rich folks. I bought all six scopes for less than one of these Zeiss scopes.

Only one of the scopes I bought was NIB. The rest were refurbished or blemished.

Nice, there is a guy here in Spokane selling a nearly new Freedom 3-9x40 rimfire for $150. Ive been tempted but I like the 32mm, looks better on a lever in my opinion.

That’s a nice line up of scopes you have coming. You’re going to be busy mounting and sighting in, Oh Darn, right? :D

I paid $199. Regular price was $259. I like the looks of the smaller scopes myself. Unfortunately I can’t hit anything with them.

You'll love that Vx3i. Great optics.

I hope so. That one was the most expensive. My friend in TX has a couple Zeiss scopes. He shoots out to 600 yards at the range.

I’m thinking of putting the 1.5-4 scope on my Henry pump. At the 1.5 power I can keep both eyes open. I’m not familiar with the Pig-Plex and hope it’s good for shooting and following moving squirrels.

I received an email with the tracking number for my scopes. I should have them by Thursday. I will have to sort through my rifles to determine which ones will get new glass.

I should have the scopes today. I usually see FedEx go by around 10 am.

My scopes arrived today! All but one was a blemish or refurbished. They all looked new to me. The box on the left is new.

This was a typical blemish.

As you can see it wiped off. Then I discovered another blemish which wiped clean also.

All six scopes appear to be brand spanking new! I was expecting scratches and dents. I don’t think any were ever mounted. My guess is the boxes were opened and maybe handled.

I’m a very happy camper. :D

The bad news is I need tip-off and not Weaver rings.
