For this end of the

For this end of the Leupold line up this is a fine scope. I have owned a Vari X iii 1. 5-5x for years and would have bought another if still produced. This is nice too. Well worth the price. I like that it isn't overly modernized in outward appearance. The zoom ring is a bit modern but functional. It's hard to find a sporting scope that isn't three quarters a tactical timmy scope that looks out of place on older classic rifles. Sometimes less is more!

Took my new scope on

Took my new scope on a bear hunt to Alaska. Long story short, after I fell 40 feet off a cliff and my scope hit slate rock on the fall, my scope still held a perfect zero and I took a huge Black Bear with my . 300 Win Mag. These scopes are tough! Even with rain, cold and falling from a cliff? the scope was clear and held zero perfectly! Well Done!

I own several rifles that

I own several rifles that are set up for Scout scopes, and as such have purchased a number of IER optics over the last 20 years. In that time the Leupolds have always been the top of the top of the heap for brightness, build quality, field of view, and light weight. I purchased this one to replace a perfectly functional scope from a competing brand because I didn't trust it to come to Africa. This scope, mounted to a sporterized Mauser, made the trip just fine. Only note; every set up is different, but at 4x an additional inch of eye relief would be nice.

This is a GREAT scope!

This is a GREAT scope! It's light weight, simple, and the glass is very clear. When I mounted it, I took 1 shot at 25 yards, 1 at 50, 1 at 100, and 1 at 200. We had 1 inch target stickers on the 200 yard gong. I handed it to my 15 year old nephew and he shot every sticker off the target, 1 round each. He warned me that he'll be stealing it soon. I don't blame him.

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 ...
