Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with this scope? How are the dials? What do think of the reticle? Is the glass crisp?

The glass in these scope is what I would expect from Leica, top notch. The issue that I had was the turret seemed very loose in the one I had. I was afraid it would get moved strapped to my pack and such. Also the way the turret was set up concerned me with quick shot opportunities. It did have 2 moa negative travel and 19 Moa positive travel I. It's one revolution

Overall I would say it was a nice scope with great optics. I ordered mine with the IBS reticle and I did like that.

Hi,

I am thinking about this scope with either the Plex reticle or the Ballistic reticle (hash marks on just the lower verticle cross hair).

I am disappointed that you thought the turrets were so loose.

How long ago did you purchase this scope? Did you ever send it back in for service?

I was just delivered to the house this thurs. I looked it over for a couple days and just couldn't get myself to keep it, but it might have been just that particular scope. The other issue that I had was the .25 MOA marks ran very close together with no visual difference in the marks other than a longer line on the whole numbers, so you had 3 shorter ones of exact same height in the middle.

I think it would be worth a look, like I mention the glass is exceptional. I haven't had any experience with either of those two reticles I went with the IBS for the windage marks along with 7 MOA of elevation with the reticle and liked it.

Hi,

Does anyone else have any knowledge of this scope and it's features? I am most concerned with the feel of the target turrets! Please let me know what you think. I don't want to drop $1,600 plus on a dog. I can probably find one of these scopes to handle in NYC, but that's a 2 hour drive each way. Willing to do it if I get more positive feedback.

I just happened onto one of these a guy wants to trade. Just curious if you pulled the trigger on it and if so, what do you think?
Thanks
