I don' t use Leupolds on my guns because I have heard mixed reviews of them. From what I hear they work better on guns that do not kick very much.
Yeah, I heard that howitzers work much better with different sighting systems than rifle scopes. For every thing smaller, the Leupolds are tough to beat- a whole lot of quality for the money. If something breaks, Leupold will fix it for free, and you don' t have to have it shipped overseas to have it repaired.[:-]
