Son’s birthday present

[Muley bound]

Today is my second oldest son’s birthday, he’s 9. I gave him a Leupold VX3HD 4.5x14 to put on top of his Kimber 6.5. I was debating between that and the ol’ classic 3.5x10. I decided to go with the 4.5x14 because of the side focus. I’ve never had that option while growing up, but ever since I bought a scope with it, I love it. My shooting eye is screwed up (long story, injuries) and has a hard time focusing. Over the years of looking through scopes, I always couldn’t get a clear focus until I had the option on a scope. So I figured why not pay the extra money and give him that option as well. Hopefully he enjoys it, time to start shooting it!!!

Cool gift.

That will be a great gift, the best part is that it will be handed down for years to come.

Holy crap. Hell of a gift for a 9 year old. Well done dad.

I have my moments!! Worst case scenario, it’s another gun I can use!

That's one impressive gift you've given him – the Leupold VX3HD 4.5x14 sounds like a top-notch choice for his Kimber 6.5. The side focus feature is a game-changer, right? It's all about making those shots crisp and clear, especially if your shooting eye has its quirks. I totally get the struggle – injuries can be a real hurdle. But hey, you're passing on not just a scope but a tool that could make a world of difference in his shooting experience. Kudos to you for thinking ahead and making his day special! Time to hit the range and create some memorable moments together.
