Rifle Scopes Leupold MK8 3.5-25

[Tflhnd1]

I didnt get a chance to play with it or even see if it was there at SHOT but found it in my catalogue. What are the thoughts on this. Seems like it has some great features except for reticle options. I have an S&B PSR but watched the booth for them and saw nothing noteworthy as well as following LL's almost disdain for them. I like the Leupolds and would look at going back in this direction. And yes i know NF is stronger now i just dont know enough about them. Jeff

Re: Leupold MK8 3.5-25

I've had one on order since last spring. Supposedly the latest update is that they will ship in February. I ordered the h58 version. I have never used a Horus, but have some buddies that love them. Supposedly it has nicer glass like the 1-8 mark8. Never thought leupies had bad glass even in the mark4s. The turrets are awesome pinch and turn type, but with a h58 you don't really use them. The 3.5 to 25 range is nice and the 56mm objective along with the 35mm tube should make for a nice bright picture. Made in the USA with a solid warranty! I'll post my opinion when it arrives.

I've been told they will be on sale at the end of May, this came from Tia, one of the Leupold Tactical reps.
