If you have items that are collecting dust you would like to see put to use or discounts on a service or subscription - PM me ( @Sytes ) and I'll add to the collection. It goes to a great cause in the final lap of this challenge to support Colorado's "NO on 127!"

Looking forward to the bidding to begin 23rd @ 2400 hours easter tz. This is an informal, enjoyable auction / bid for a cause.

This is not a Colorado "thing". This holds national implications. Best to all!

Purchased around 10 years ago for a 270 Thompson Pro Hunter that I didn't keep very long. Traded the rifle for a .357 S&W K frame & safe'd the VXIII. Duplex Reticle with the little ranging gap below center cross. I put a rubber eye guard on it & will ship to buyer on my dime.

Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm CDS-ZL2 Illuminated FireDot reticle with the original box.

Essentially new condition. Been mounted and sighted but not yet carried in the field. Has a Vortex level on it for folks shooting beyond 400 yards. These are going for $1,299 on OpticsPlanet and Leupold site. This is a chance to get a great deal on a great scope for a good cause. I think @Sytes may be putting a reserve min bid on this one, but I leave those kinds of details to him.

 

[Sytes]

@p_ham has made a great offer!

You will gain a 20% discount up to $500 off his well respected and professional gunsmithing.

Hunt Talk members can vouch for his fine craftsmanship!

All pottery is dishwasher, microwave and food safe:

Tumbler: This cup is big enough to hold a real man's pour of bourbon or scotch. It'll make a fantastic double old-fashioned cup, or just fill it with Vodka and squat in a track suit if you're slavic. Holds around 10 ounces, give or take an ounce.



If you like you whiskey neat, this is your cup. A smaller yunomi that can be used for your adult beverages or as a daily sipper for your tea/ Holds around 6-oz.



Another double-double. This bad boy would hold your favorite cocktail, mocktail or a piping hot cuppa tea. Holds around 12 ounces.

Is so, then yes. I have not gotten a custom dial for it (or frankly any of my leupolds).
