RE: Leupold Scope concerns
I agree with bigbulls. That Leupy 2.5-8 is not the right scope for that Cooper. Also, I'd lose the Leupy mounts and go with Talley's or Conetrols (along with a longer body scope).I recently put a Swaro AV 3-10 X 42 on my Cooper 52 in Talley's, and I consider it about perfect...looking and shooting.
