Disappointed with lack of accessory

Love everything about this scope, except that it doesn't come with a bikini. I can only find a generic one and it doesn't fit well. I don't want a cover that stays attached and don't want one that completely covers scope, just a simple bikini that's easily removed and fits in my pocket. If one is available for this, I certainly can't find it.

Mounted on a Bergara 17HMR, Going to get a couple more for all my small caliber long guns. This is by far the clearest glass and best bang for a buck I have ever purchased. I have a dozen or so competitors that don't come close to this optic.

Sir I have great feelings

Sir I have great feelings about all of my leupold scopes. Im a bit confused about why you have discontinued some of my favorite scopes . I really like the 4. 5x14x50 cds and fire dot 30 mm tubei have several. I see you brought back the 4x16x50 great move . I would like to see the 6x18x50 in a vx 3hd perfect scope. I have 3 3x15x56 and love them but you need to remember that everyone can't afford the high end scopes and a 4 to 600. 00 is within reach for most people. I believe that my suggestions are spot on and you would be wise to talk to the consumer. All told i have around 15 plus leupold scopes and will not even consider anything else.

Mounted on a T/C Omega

Mounted on a T/C Omega that has been converted to 45 cal smokeless muzzleloader. Scope is nice and clear with a bright picture but most importantly it is holding zero. Haven't used it for hunting yet so unable to comment on how it stands up in the field. I would buy another. Leopold has quality products and stands behind their warranty.

Scope is light which is perfect for the Ruger 10/22 Carbon I mounted it on. Glass just as expected, but as a simple person I wish they made it with a normal fine duplex reticle. Only complaint. Reticle is the only reason for 4 star review.

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 ...
