Rifle Scopes Leupold MK8 Reviews?

Only got a little time behind this beast, as I was too busy trying to sight in another scope. A quick couple points...
1. Built like a tank, definitively heavy
2. Glass is Very clean.
3. H58 reticle was just right for me compared to NF (very thin lines).

So far very impress & happy!
 
Try advanced search and type in key words. There are multiple reviews here. A google search would probably work too.
 
I'm curious too. I've yet to find a good review or comparison to other top end scopes. It's probably a function of the lack of availability so far this year. There are several reviews of the Mk6 available, but I really want to see a head to head comparison of the Mk8 to S&B glass based on the claims that Leupold upped their game on the Mk8 glass over the Mk4.
 
Glass modification Mk8 correspond to only modification Leupold Mk4 ER/T.

OK,OK,if the question and bite for me,
I wanted to say that
ER/T there is DADDY (prototype)Mk8 and Mk6. ER/T also good and not inferior Mk8 and Mk6 with the exception of "new parts" and options which are incorporated in Mk8 and Mk6.

OK, I'll bite. What are you trying to say?
 
I was able to get mine mounted up when I was CONUS in Nov but it rained HEAVILY on the only day I was able to shoot, so I stuck to pistols and some other toys but didn't get to do any shooting with this scope. My first impressions were that I liked it a lot. It's BIG, and heavy, but you don't buy a 56mm scope with a 35mm main tube if you care about how big it is. The glass looked really nice, but I'm not as much of a glass-whore as most people. After being accustomed to the H-59, I found the H-58 to be a little thick, but I'm hoping to do a reticle swap next year when Leupy picks up the H59 reticle.

I really like the locking turrets, which were very intuitive: you just pinch them to turn them then they lock once you release pressure.

I don't know that I'd pay the 4k retail price on this scope, but there are some great deals available from time to time, Scott at Liberty Optics had a great price on them a while ago, and in the 3k price range they're a hell of a scope.
