[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 709418, member: 28348"] speaking of flare IMO leupold scopes aren't that great dealing with flare. escpecially when compared to say a bushnell elite 4200. a lot of people dog on huskemaw because of the TV show and them making long range shots look so easy. when what they are failing to see is the time spent taking the shot on most of their shows. they get a steady rest and a spotter is there reading conditions and telling them where to aim. I really don't see the big deal in it. especially when the spotter thats reading the conditions is an experienced member of the crew thats done alot of long range shooting. So all this tends to lead to alot of skeptics and haters trolling the internet and taints the good features the optics do have. I personally think the huskemaw and even the graybull scope albeit it overpriced for a modded leupold have some outstanding features for hunting that are found on no other optics. for one they have zero stop capability its not nightforce quailty but it will work. They have almost all the distance you can use in one turn of the knob and the reticle has 1 MOA hold offs which can be used for determining the size of a rock thats say 700 yards out easily in your head. MOA increments also can roughly and easily be translated into inches much more easily in your head than the more popular mil increments. The 1 MOA marked wind hold offs in particluar are an advantage the distance is finer than a mil reticle and just easier to use. nightfoce just came out with a MOAR reticle which will do the same thing but for some it might be more complex looking and the scope is ALOT more expensive. they also have the velocity reticles that at first glance don't look that cool but I think provide a good option. I like that they mark the wind in 5, 10 and 15 mph increments. It also allows for dialing instead of holding with 1 moa wind hold offs on the horizontal bar of the reticle. I am surprised that leupold and vortex have not offered a similar setup to what graybull or huskemaw have. [/QUOTE]
