If you are going to shot only long range it would be a good way to go I think, but there has been trouble dialing in Leupold scopes for different yardages. Now I don't know if they have corrected their problem. I used a 6 x 20 Leupold for a few years deer hunting. Found that FOV was to small at close ranges even on low power, and hard to find the animal. Hunting in the west can be close or far. I moved to a 2x8 Leupold scopes on most of my hunting rifles with a duples, but my yardage are about 500yds or less. Now I just got a CrimsonTrace Ser-5 in 3x18x50mm with a 34mm tube. It will be awhile before I use it to see how it's going to work out. My ranges will extend out into the 700 to 800yds ranges with that scope. Now I got a hell of a price for it, and so if it don't work out I will go to a NightForce scope in the same range of power. Now if you are going to shoot ground Squirrels or small varmints at longer yardages, that a different story. I use a straight 20 power on my 220 swift for that, but the scope you are looking at would be great for that. If the price is right you can try it and see how it works out for you. You can mount it on something else if it doesn't work out or sell it. The other is why are to other people selling the scope? There might be something going like the scope isn't tracking. Now I like Leupold scopes and have several of them. I have been one that use the duplex as my range adjuster for yardage out to 600yds and adjusted my hole by using the duplex.
