[QUOTE="Tank308, post: 1832627, member: 110051"] I was looking for a new scope for my wooden stock sporterized mauser 308. My daughters hunting gun. I went straight to leupold because of weight. This is the first year back shooting with me. 10 years off. I would like her to shoot long range with me in the off season. So I bought LRP 8.5-25. Mounted it went in my back yard. Set up 5 rifles on a table side by side put them on the same magnification 20x. Sun was down last 10 or 15 minutes of light. Looked at a transformers location numbers 200 yards away. A Nightforce Atacr, valdada G2, Athlon Cronus, Athlon ares ETR and the leupold. The leupold was excellent not first but not last. So I took my daughter to the range. Loaded up some Nosler 125's hunters. Her bullets where 1/2" at 100. So I said let's see if you still got it. Strelock data. 2 shots each all the way to 503. Hit everything. at 503 hit the 6" gong first pull. She said she wanted to try for the 3". She was on 2.6 mil. Shot just under. I said 2.7 and [ATTACH=full]175746[/ATTACH]. For the record I wouldn't take it for high volume shooting but for whet we wanted it's a good deal. [/QUOTE]
