I say save your money, don't buy Leupold. IF, you are set on spending that much money, there are better choices for that same 1000. PERSONALLY, for that much money, I like the Nightforce. Though understand that for me, it will double as a tactical rifle as well. For 500 or less, Get a Nikon. I had a buckmaster on a .308 and killed prairie dogs at 700 yds with it. Not as consisitantly as at 500, but still. I got impatient on my last scope purchase, a Leupold MK 4 Long Rang Tactical. I had wanted a Nightforce, but the one that I wanted was not in stock, and the company wasn't sure when I would be able to get one. I would rather have my $400 nikon back than the 1000 Piece of crap Leupold that I have now. 1st Day on the range, 3rd or 4th shot, a chunk of reticle came off. Their customer service is good, but I now have doubts in the product quality.

so, for under 1000. Buy a nikon

over 1000, Schmidt bender, Nightforce.....etc.


Leupold quality has, IMO gone down the crapper in the last 8-10 years.
