RE: Leupold Rifleman......
I think the Leupold Rifleman is a decent scope, despite it being put down constantly. I have a 2-7x33 Rifleman mounted on a non-ported Marlin 1895G in .45-70 and it has held up to a couple hundred rounds of PMC's 350gr @ 2025 FPS ammo with 100% reliability. Let me tell you, the 7 lb. 1895G kicks quite hard with that load and the Rifleman has been outstanding.
