[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 14953, member: 34"] Brent The Leupold LR has 67" of vertical adjustment and the clicks are 1/4 MOA. The scope is made in the USA and the warrenty is tops in the optical field. The optics are clearer to "my eyes" then the NF and I have had a few other shooters tell me the same thing. I also have owned a few NF scopes so I can make a good comparison. A test was done by 4 of my shooting friends. They took the NF NXS 5.5X to 22X and also the 8 1/2X to 25X Leupold LR. They set the Leupold at 22X and the NF also. Placed both scopes side by side on a bench at a 100 yd range looking at a target that had 30 Cal bullet holes in it 100 yds away. All four (one at a time) set each scope for their eyes and had the chance to look through one scope and then the other several times at the fired target 100 yards away. All 4 shooters said the SAME thing. They could see the "ragged" edges of the bullet holes with the Leupold and NOT with the NF. I think it depends on each persons eyes but that was the same answer from all four 1000 yd shooters and differnt age groups. The NF is a quality scope and so is the Leupold LR. I don't think a person can go wrong with either one. "I" would much rather have two scopes of the Leupold LR quality then just one other brand that was equal or "possibly" a bit better(?) for "twice" the cost. Whichever scope fits your budget and has the bells and whistles that you are looking for is the one for each person to decide on. The Leupold LR works fine for me. DC [/QUOTE]
