BURRIS BLACK DIAMOND VS. LEUPOLD LR
I am putting together a new varmint rifle. Rifle is going to be an Encore, with a 6.5 X 284 barrel from Fox Ridge. I am going to have David White do a little work to it once I get the barrel. I have narrowed it down to two scopes:
1. Burris Black Diamond. 6 X 24. With their Ballistic Mil-dot reticle.
2. Leupold LR 8.5 X 25 with the Varmint Hunting Reticle.
Rifle will be used from a fixed position, and basically for groundhogs. It might take an occasional doe, and even an occasional coyote. I am familiar with the Leupold, and the Signature Select Burris, but I am new to the Black Diamond. Everything I have read about it is good. The BD is about $125 less. Resale is not an issue. Anyone have any experience? Tom.
