Worst scope I've ever purchased

By far the worst scope I've ever purchased. Unable to find focus and it seems there's an internal smudge dead center of the reticle and some sort of film on the external glass that will not come off. This was my first and last Leupold scope. This thing has got to be flawed.

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.

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 ...
