Leupold

My hunts consist of heavy loads and heavier loads. I've used two different scopes, this one and a Minox 11-33x50. Optic quality is superior as my Leupold 10x42's. Minox was crap compared to this. This feels about 2/3rds the weight of the Minox.Haven't used the vortex equivalent of this scope, however, in my experience with Vortex is that they put their money into marketing. Those who know, buy Leupold because they know that Leupold puts there bottom line on the product instead of the marketing of the product. Ive used Nikon, Vortex and Leupold optics, extensively. Purchase after purchase, I've never gone wrong with Leupold.This scope is light, easy to focus with a nice R hand knob on the side. Also, because the screw hole for the tripod is mounted forward you can screw your Bino adapter into this scope directly or use the included adapter to mount without on any tripod at a 90 deg. angle. Gives you options for weight savings.Price is better on this too, over Vortex.

Value for money! Good clear detailed view @ 200 yards. I live by a shipping lane. I could read ships' name on the bow +1 mile away! Clear viewing during twilight hrs. Tripod is a must. Without a tripod (or a rest) it is very difficult to view objects at a distance. Zoom function is good and fine tuning dial is sensitive. Compact and light and easy to carry. It comes with a soft carry case. I purchased it for hunting but I have not yet used it for hunting. Leupold provides good customer service!

Compact, well built and comes with the legendary Leupold guarantee. What’s not to like?

I would say up to 300 meters this thing will show you your bullet holes in paper. It is a must for zeroing rifles.

You always get what you pay for

I think it is as advertised….works well at 100m in. Easy to work with.

Excellent optics, light weight for backpacking.

Great spotting scope.
