You maybe ought to get down to the Patent Office first thing in the morning with that one, Roy!
 Wouldn't that look great on one of those new Remington rifles with the Triangular barrels?
 Wow!

It will not surprise me to see something akin to that in the future from some manu.

For some reason, the Remington rep didn't think it was funny when I asked where to find triangle-shaped bullets.
So here's a nickel on the grass to you - your spirit, enthusiasm, sacrifice and courage - but most of all your friendship. Yours is a dying breed. When you are gone, the world will be a lesser place.

Maybe the guys at Remington never played with a shape match toy when they were in Preschool and Kindergarten... making a triangular barrel that shoots round bullets.

I have a redfield / meade / whoknows that has a square eyepiece that is more exagerated than their widefield panoramic illuminator lenses that is very square but the tube is still round...It actually is one of my best picks to mount on plinkers for my wife she loves the "wideview"...

Oh and on the topic the VX-3L are very nice for not getting hung up in brush they just need to develop their perceived quality of their glass a little better.

Ant264, no, Leupold makes very good scopes and their customer service is about the best there is. Sometimes we just get carried away with teasing one another. My only beef with the VX-L is that I don't like the looks. I'm sure it's as solid as the rest of their line.
That statement is about as full of BS as Eremicus's focus-posts.............JB/MD
