Leupold Optics For Very Long Or Very Short Range

[ADMIN]

In my waking dreams, it is of course essential for long range hunting to have a new, just released scope and laser rangefinder to team up with a rifle and cartridge/bullet combo to do the job at ranges close, far and anywhere in between.

The cartridge is a hand loaded Nosler Custom Case and a 185 grain Nosler AccuBond using Reloader 15 powder.

Good looking scope, It will likely find its way to my home one day. Good realistic assessment of what most of our needs are.

Excellent common sense to hunters. This Leupold looks good I think I will get one.

I've always felt that a 3x12/42 is a good all around scope. I'll have to check out the Leupold.
