I am curious to what people think about this scope for hunting? i have a Gen2 pst on order, but im looking for perhaps a better low light optic with better glass. does anyone currently use this scope, and how does it compare to other sub 1,000 ffp optics for hunting.. thanks
 
I have the 4-14x50 and although I have a few other $2.5k scopes, here is why I purchased the LRP

The image quality is darn good for the price point
FFP
Considerably light for the features
I like the big elevation knob, (my close vision sucks at my age)
Built in throw lever and optional covered or capped windage knob
Leupold's no BS warranty

About the only thing that was a negative was the 3 zoom, but I purchased it for long range steel and game, and it performs great and I keep it on the high end.


All in all it is a great scope for steel/hunter.
