[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2249950, member: 115658"] I have 4 Leupold 6-18X40 1 inch, AO, AR Tac scopes mounted on some of my rodent rifles. Leupold provided Patrol scope type mil elevation dials to replace the elevation dials calibrated for 55 fmj boatail bullets at 3,100 fps. I use these scopes on .204 Ruger, .22-.250 with 75 ELD and 6mm AI with 87 Vmax bullets. The mil dot spacing on these RFP scopes at 18X is 1 mil between dots, or 18 inches at 500 yards and the adjustments are in milliradians with . I milliradian per click I measure the spacing between barbed wire on fences and use my mil dot reticles to verify laser range finder readings after dialing on the correct mil elevation. This avoids continual laser ranging - like is that rodent in front or back of fence slightly more or less than the lasered range. These Leupold scopes have extremely good resolution & brightness to pick up on fence wire at ranges more then 500 yards sometimes in less than good light. Perfectly adequate for my needs considering I paid under $420 each with 2 going for $385 each. Improvements would be a 30mm tube & side focus, increasing price by about $300. I can't see spending more than $1, 500 on some scope that sees limited use to shoot deers and such having limited bag limits. [/QUOTE]
