T Bacus Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ordered one of these for the shop and sold it. Tried to order more and no distributors even have them listed any more and they are not on the Leupold web site, that i can find any way. Anyone heard anything about them?

gng4life Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The Multigun scope is pretty elusive. Even when I called to order mine from the Custom Shop at Leupold, the first guy had no clue was I was talking about. I finally found someone who knew the deal and they told me that only a few dealers would be getting them but they were sold directly from the Custom Shop also. I ordered mine from them directly and had it in about a week. I would call the shop on Monday and ask about them. If anyone tells you, "that's a special order item that will take 6-8 weeks" or "that's not a scope (or SKU) that we carry in the Custom Shop", just ask for someone else or call back later and hope to get the right person. I think it's an awesome scope (so far) for the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Bacus Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) The SPR... Funny thing is I had a distributor that had them listed by Leupold product number, and in stock. Now I can't find the product number anywhere, and the distributor no longer has them listed at all on their site.

gng4life Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 DSG was one of the big distributors for this scope but I heard (from the Custom Shop) that a few others had them also. I have my box for mine and it has a SKU of 0 30317 91415 8 on it but I don't see a "product number" on it. I hope they didn't stop selling them.

Vipers Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Are these the same scope?

No, they are part of the VX-6 line but they are a "special build" just for 3 gunners. They have the firedot SPR, which the the other VX-6 scopes don't have.

Vipers Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for the info. Anyone have a pic of it? What's it cost? Can you use it on a 308? Are these the same scope?

philg80 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Don't know if this helps or not but the VX-R Patrol is offered in a SPR Firedot version.....under Leupold Tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShootguns Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The SPR... Funny thing is I had a distributor that had them listed by Leupold product number, and in stock. Now I can't find the product number anywhere, and the distributor no longer has them listed at all on their site. Which distributor had it before? I deal mostly with RSR and Ellett and neither of those reps had even heard of the darn scope when I asked about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M ammo Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Leupold is shooting themselfs in the Foot. Other companies,, Have jumped on the 3 gun Wagon and had 3 Gun Scopes out years before,, people are finding out that a so called 3 gun scope,,, is the best all around scope for all types of shooting. not just 3 gun,, Leupold is late in the game..

Merlin Orr Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 A shooter on my squad at our local match had one this weekend. Looked through it and..... while the glass was good the crosshairs were very thick and blocked out a lot of detail on targets after about 100 yards. I don't know if you could see a 8" plate at 200+ yards due to the thickness of the crosshairs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been my only complaint with it so far...glad you mentioned as I forgot to above but I totally agree with you. Hopefully they come up with a better reticle soon...

Is there any way you can get word to them that making the stadia thinner would increase its usability and help them sell a metric f*#k ton of them?
