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.

Fantastic scope with quick target acquisition

Mounted very easily. Very clear glass and excellent craftsmanship. Very comparable, in my opinion, to VX and VARI-X models. Mounted on an Encore . 458 Win. No problems what-so-ever. Great product.

Exceeded Expectations

I was very impressed with the quality of glass on this inexpensive scope. The optical clarity was clear edge to edge through the entire magnification range, and the eye box surprisingly forgiving. The reticle is one of the best available for scopes of this form factor. The elevation turret was crisp and tracked appropriately to the corrections however I wish there was more markings than just 0-3-6-9-12, making quick adjustments slightly easier than really having to pay attention to the dial. My other gripe is the lack of a hash mark for the windage turret to show reference to the adjustments being made. I know once the windage is set it will be capped and not used often, but I had to use the lines of my scope rings to have a clear marker of the starting/stopping point of the adjustments. I plan to shoot several different loads through this rifle, having recorded zero corrections, a hashmark to verify appropirate corrections would be very useful. Overall this scope surpassed my expectations and I would take this over other optics like Vortex or Maven in the price range. Several small changes could really make this a perfect 5/5 for the price.

It was OK. I don't like things that are "OK" so I returned it. I took a chance and thought that it might be above its pay grade, but to me it was right at its pay grade. At this time in my life, I am fortunate enough to be able to pay a little more and get a little more. That's my honest review.

Close to perfect?. .

The only trim, lightweight, sensible hunting scope left! I have one right now and hope to get a few more. Great eye relief ( both critical and non critical), perfect sized and actually useful dimensions, very clear; just really nothing like this 2-7x33 out there, anymore. The size of the eyepiece aids in low mounting, plenty of light transmission and clarity. Makes a decent replacement for the missing M8/FX 4x33 fixed power. Only negatives are the zoom ring is to large and aggressive, I much prefer the VX-1 and VX-2 zoom rings, and wish the windage and elevation housing was much less boxy and more rounded, like the VX-1/VX-2. Please don't ever discontinue this 2-7x33, Leupold!

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 ...
