Not a good scope

I bought this scope online from Cabela's and it was not a good experience. I put the scope on my 45-70 Marlin and when zeroing it in, the scope ran out of elevation to adjust. That was the first that ever happened to me when I put on a lot of Leupold scopes before but none with the plastic dial adjustment. I even changed out scope rings to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. I returned the scope to Cabela's and I was told by the workers there that this scope has had a lot of issues and they took back 2 in the last week. The worker also told me that Leupold started putting plastic internals in the scope and that's where issues arise. But paying 300 dollars for a scope that doesn't work and hearing that the manufacturer is now skimping on parts is not a good look.

Good scope for the money

I've actually really liked this scope, it's light, good adjustments and pretty clear glass. The subtensions work for my 7mm-08 spot on. What would really take this scope up a notch is instead of holdover dots, do lines with a windage mark as well. i. e. your 400 mark would be 4. 8moa elevation and a 1. 9moa windage mark.

Great scope for 450 Bushmaster

By Shooter

Best bang for the buck scope for a 450 bushmaster used for Deer. I put a 3-9x freedom on a Ruger Gunsite 450 BM. I used the rear mounts not the front rail. 100 yard groups are under 1 inch. Bagged two bucks last year at 180 yards. If you hunt in lower Michigan where the shots are from 20- 200 yards this is all the scope you need. CDS is pre calibrated for Hornady 450BM ammo. All you have to do is establish a zero at 100 yards, set the scope on 0 lock the cap and its done. Good for up to ...
