[QUOTE="joep17, post: 1410622, member: 1457"] Greetings I have several dozen Leupolds and loved all of them except 1....the 8.5-25 Have 4 of the 6.5-20's and love them. There was just a strange experience with the 8.5-20. It was extremely senisitive to eye relief. If I moved my head 1/2" either way. When I set it at 20x and compared side by side with the 6.5-20, the optics were not quite as crisp. The field of view seemed smaller to me with both at 20X. Sold it and bought a 5.5-22 NSX. It just did nt fit my shooting style. Another experienced shooter sold his too for similar reasons. I recommend you find someone with the 8.5-25 mounted and try it to see if it works for you. Again I have been extremely pleased with all my Leupolds except this model. [/QUOTE]
