[QUOTE="436, post: 564755, member: 16609"] phorwath, Most the scope business I’ve done and do with Leupold is tactical scopes, of late I’ve picked up their Prismatic 1x14mm with Illum plex which I like very much, and a couple of the Mk AR 1.5-4x20mm that seem to work nice for a less expensive scope. Over the years my safe(s) have been came heavy with Leupold optic. As for quality of optic, lens, coating and light gathering; well’…, I must be one of those guys’s you never hear about. My Mk19 calibrated eye balls and 3 to 5 millimeters “day time” pupil diameter can’t real measure the light gathering transmissions or the quality of glass as other can do. Another one of the latest scopes I’ve bought for my M1A was an Mk 4 3.5-10x40mm LT/T M3 LR/Tac Illum... very nice glass, I guess.. I also run a short range scope on my M1A from Leatherwood the [B][B]CMR[/B][/B] Series Hi-Lux 1-4x24 Riflescope illum; to tell you the truth it’s cheap, but works great, the CMR reticle is [U]“super”[/U] I mean “tip top” and it seems to hold up just fine, yeah I know, it’s made in China; that I’m not big on at all, but I knew Jim in the Nam days and used his then great little ART’s on a M21/M14 I’ve also used it on a modified M700’s. It was a Realist 3x9 scope and the glass was superb, tough as nails scope, so I thought I’ve give this one a try just for old times… If there was an older scope that stands out in my mind from Leupold, I think it would be the M8 6X42mm as a sporting scope what a scope over the years. I have others; Leica, Night Force, Trijicon, Redfield, Weaver, Original 4x Colt, Bushnell, Swarovski they all work and look pretty good through my eye(s) I’ve owned many others in the past including B&L, S&B, Zeiss, Unertl and Lyman... and quite a few cheapies’.
