Given a budget of $2K-4K and parameters of:
variable magnification: 5-ish to 21+
tree-style reticle
generous eye box
bright sight picture at max magnification (exit pupil)
What would you buy?
The eye box and brightness are a big deal for me. I would go postal if I blow that kind...
A few months ago, I posted some info on the hide about the gear the top 50 shooters in the Precision Rifle Series were using, including caliber, cartridge, scope, gunsmith, action, barrel, stock, bullet, powder, suppressor, muzzle brake, and rear bag.
In case someone isn't familiar with the...
I sent my older 2001? (can't remember) 4.5-14x50 Leupold Vari X iii Long Range Tactical in for a new reticle. They said the MOA reticle for SFP 14x was ready. I like it. Cost me around $150 and they cleaned and checked out my scope.
I don't post much, but learn a lot. This may be old...
I have an older Gold Ring that has a mil-dot reticle with round dots and hash marks every half mil. The Leupold web site shows the Mark 4 spotter with a mil-dot reticle with no half mil hash marks, but the image is just a drawing. I have not found another image online.
Do the newer Mark 4...
I was using my TMR reticle scope to range a garage door of a house. Now I've laser-ranged that garage door and it's right at 723 yards. But when I use the TMR reticle AND my mildot master calculator, I get a range of about 800 yards. Now I've looked on the internet and it says that most...
I am very interested in first hand experiences with the NP-1RR reticle for 1000 yard ( and 800-900 too) FT/R competition.
What are the Subtensions?
how do you actually see ("feel") the V-bull with the dots on the sides?
Does it help you with heavy winds?
I find the concept interesting...
I have been using the USO MPR Mil reticle and have found it user friendly for ranging but have not had a chance to use the Gen 2 XR. I was wondering if anyone has compared the two and what you like or dislike about either one. Thanks.
Looking at reticles, and USO has the option of using a red or green reticle.
I know that green is easier on the eyes, etc. reducing fatigue, but I would like to hear from users of both.
Any reason to go with one or the other?
Pricing is same, so apples or oranges?
Thanks for all input!
I know USO can install a Horus H-38 into the scope at time of production, but can it be installed after production?
Does it compromise the integrity?
Does it still cost $400 to install later as time of production?
I wanted to put this out there and see if it is just me. I have a NXS 5.5-22x50 with the NP-R1 reticle. I love the reticle and the application of it with the 1 MOA increments. The problem that I am having is that the reticle is going fuzzy / blurry a large percentage of the time and it just...
I'm looking at the S&B PM11 5 x 25 with the P4 reticle but I'm trying to decide weather or not to get the or regular or fine (P-4 / P4F). Anybody here have any experience with them?
Just noticed that the right hand leg (thicker portion) of the horizontal post on my ACOG is getting blurry and almose see through.
Left side and vertical post are absolutley fine and sharp.
Whne I move my head around (closer to eyepiece and from side to side) the post sharpens up again.
The...
I'm new to this board, learning about marksmanship and trying to soak up as much info as I can...
The entire MOA and Mil Dot math required zero a rifle has been almost voodoo to me, (figuring out distance conversions off target to clicks) until I ran across Lowlight's article on using a...
Is there a way to light up a reticle that is not provided with illumination from the factory?
Just curious.
Thanks-

OK, let me start off by saying that the purpose of this thread is not to debate or bash Leupold. I personally own 3 Leupold MKIV's and have never, ever had a single problem with any of them.
Now to the problem. I got a loaner scope (Leupold MKIV M1) that a friend graciously lent me while I...
