I think theres threemain things wrong with it:

What if you decide that you want to shoot heavy conicals for fun, or a 200 gr. sabot for more accuracy, then its just a useless cluster.

There is too much in the field of vision, a pain to look through.

It goes to 200 and 250 yd shots, how many shots far with a BP will you be shooting, hopefully not many.

For $50 less, you can get a Leupold 2-7 by 33, a much clearer and trustworthy scope.

i prefer a large diameter scope for the increased field of view and light gathering ability. i would also never buy a scope adjustable or not under 9x. my eyes aren't the best and i rely on the extra benefit of higher magnification.

also, Leupolds are nice scopes but not worth what they sell for. IMO your buying the name. i use a Pentax (4-12x40mm) on my T/C ProHunter .25-06, which most people claim as a cheap worthless scope, and it is just as clear and bright as any Leupold i have ever looked threw. keep in mind that thelatest Leupold i have looked threw was a vxiii. i also use a Swift (4-12x50mm) on my Weatherby .300 Mag which has never given me a problem.
