I love the scope, and think it's excellent quality. My only criticism is the reticle is slightly thicker than my preference. That being said - I would still buy 4 more.

Love Leopold been my one and only 15 plus years

Best but overpriced should come with sun shade caps everything and not have to buy them as accessories also reticle options are slim and no illumination options in 2026 scopes at half the price have twice the features come with all accessories even mounts Leopold is no longer the only players in the high end market in fact they are falling behind but their prices are not. good glass is good that's a fact but there is a lot more to it, having acquired 17 plus Leopold's over the years or around 20k worth of optics clearly my favorite for the last 15 plus years I've put my eye through a few other scopes lately at the range on other people builds that were half the price or less like 1/4 the price that make me feel like I've been wasting my money. it's sad but I'm being honest it making me feel a sort of way lately just going to have to split up like I'm in a bad marriage.

Better than my Vortex GEN III

Outstanding optic in all regards. I run this on one of my Masterpiece Arms and a Vortex GEN III 6-36 on the other. If I had looked through and used this scope before I bought the Vortex then both my Masterpiece Arms would have this scope on them. Hard to understand why people are paying a $1000 or more for the Vortex, especially since I am one of them.

5 Stars in all Regards

I cant say enough good things about this scope. It is premium in all regards. I know some people complain about no illuminated reticle but I run the Vortex GEN III 6-36x56 on my Masterpiece Arms Matrix Pro and never use the illumination so thats a zero deal for me. Put this on my wife's Ruger Precision Rifle . 338 LM and we both love everything about it. I wish I had known about it before spending the extra money on the Vortex.

This scope is a perfect 10 in all regards. Clearly the best glass of any of my other scopes. The problem now is I want it on all my long range rifles. Edge to Edge clarity all the way thru the furthest range out and light gathering excellent. Made in the U. S. A. nothing could be better.

-An excellent choice for an SPRish setup -glass clarity rivals NF -maintained zero for me out to 500 yards after a hard fall into the dirt -parallax and illumination are excellent and the reasons this is on my rifle instead of the ATACR 1-8x DMX -elevation adjustment can get you on target at 1000yd with 5. 56 without a 20moa mount

The Benchmark NRL Hunter Optic

Outstanding feature set for NRL Hunter at a very light weight. Optical clarity is so good, I struggle to use other non-Leupold rifle scopes! I also purchased 2x Mark4HD scopes and they are also incredible optics.

Best glass I've ever used.

Best glass I've ever used. Tracks very well and has great eye relief. I was ringing steel at a mile and got very little mirage at extended ranges. Perfect reticle for long range shooting. . The dials were crisp and audible so it make for easy transitions between shots. Great scope. The 7-35 will be my next one for a 300 prc build.
