I've got an older Redfield. It's 20x45 with a 60MM lenses. IMO anything that goes above 45 is not worth it. At 60X you get a lot of mirage. I've used my scope on 3 separate sheep hunts & a mtn goat hunt all here in Colorado. I had no problem seeing & judging the animals.
I would look at Nikon before the Leupold. I think with Leupold you are paying a premium for that gold circle.
