RE: What do you think of this scope for my rifle.
IMO, 18X is way overpowered. Your FOV will be reduced and it will be harder to hold steady (wobbles will be magnified). For $600 there are many great scopes available that rival or exceed Leuppy glass. Don't get me wrong, I like Leuppy's. I just think several others are a better value and perform equally good or better. Check out the new Bushnell Elite 6500's, new Nikon Monarch's or Zeiss Conquests with the Rapid Z reticles.
