    Just wanted to update you all. I got the pricing for the new Leupold Program Mil program and it coincided with the release of their new Mark 5HD 5-25x56.

    Redneckbmxer, the deal im seeing though Mil discounts is a bit different, enough to look more at the H59, its roughly the price of 500rds.

    Stwcattle, is price what keeps people from buying leupolds? Or is there another reason? i know i previously stated that 35mm tube was odd and thats what kept me from committing to them, but i just looked at Badger Ord, and they sell a set of 35mm rings which was what i was going to use on 34mm...
