[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 75129, member: 1459"] [ QUOTE ] Yes I did. It started life as a 6.5-20x50 long range target. Premier boosted it to 14.5-35x50 and put new erector springs in it. No custom reticle was installed because I see no need for them if you dial in your clicks with the turrets like I do. I absolutely love the scope. I have shot it side by side with a Nightforce 5.5-22x56 at 1000 yards on similiar settings and couldn't see a difference but I do have young eyes. The Nightforce is reported to have double the resolution of a Leupy past 1000 yards, but the Leupy allows us to see chucks very well past 2000 yards! Even my uncle Brian can see the chucks at that range just fine and he has 46 (no wait, he turned 47 yesterday!!) year old eyes.

This was done about 3 months before they posted a notice on their website that they would no longer take in and retrofit scopes.
