youngbuck Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Nice rig, how much does it weigh, as is, scoped with bipod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffro Report post Posted September 12, 2010 It weights too much. I just weighted it at 14.4 as you see it. I guess I better get tougher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngbuck Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Thats not too bad with the harris. I've been kicking around the idea of having an edge built for a while, but i've got a lot more pennies to put away. How do you like mark4? Did you compare it to the NXS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffro Report post Posted September 13, 2010 I like the Mark 4 a lot. It is a great scope. I would rather have a NXS because I think they are better scopes. I got the Mark 4 new for a great deal. $1000. If I were to pay retail they would both be around $1600. At that price I would get the NXS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coues hunter Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Sweet looking gun. Pretty soon we won't even have to hunt anymore. Just sit back and plink away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaynec Report post Posted November 4, 2010 I tried to get the Leupold rep to tell me why the Mark 4 was better than the VX3, I guess it's a secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coues7 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Randy does great work. He build a rifle for me a few years ago. The one thing you'll regret is the weight.....gettin' tougher won't help (in my opinion). That's the one thing about long range shooting that people don't recognize at first or don't anticipate in their builds....WEIGHT. I hump around a 12.5 scoped/bipoded rifle and even that's too much. Nice rig though. Tell us how it shoots when you make it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffro Report post Posted November 4, 2010 I humped the rifle around all deer season this year. 4 days. It is heavy, but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I wouldnt want to be climbing steep mountains all day with this rifle, but the way hunt and glass it wasnt bad. The rifle is shooting great. .270MOA @ 100yrds and 1.95in groups at 500yrds. .390MOA for those that cant do the math and like to crack jokes about magic bullets. I took my deer at 726yrds with the rifle this year. Its off to a good start in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffro Report post Posted November 4, 2010 The Tactical Rep told me that the Mark 4s are built with stronger internals. This would also explain why there is less internal ajustment ( MOA/MILs ) in the Mark 4s than in the V-3s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
