All this Leupold bashing and the pricing complaints are a little tiresome... Easy guys/girls , easy. Leupold is a great company, more expensive sure, but quality is what you pay for. Guess people didn't see the new rules for the knocking on opnions..... From BSA to Nikon, you have many choices obviously, but I would try to fork a little more money in the scope than be sorry later that you hadn't. It could be a Leupold, it could be a Nikon, or it could be a good old bushnell, providing it can handle the shock of the selected chambered rifle.Just my honest opinion.
