[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1511755, member: 85987"] This is the issue with LEO. They are at the top of the price range in the class. The glass is good but the mechanicals are not on par with the same price point. I had them only when I was young. I paid alot of money for me at the time for a fixed 10 mildot with M3 turrets. That scope had a canted reticle. They fixed it but the turrets always had lash. 20 years ago. I do load work up for a customer due to him having parkinsons disease. He has a 7-42 vx6. Great glass but the turrets are horrible. Mushy they need a shot or 2 to settle. You cannot have that for any kind of turret based correction situation. I've shot at least 2 dozen leo's where if you do not go past your correction and come back your not where you want to be in the turret. Supposedly they have this resolved in the MKV. At what they want for money f them. I'd take any number of scopes over them. If I wanted lightweight Ziess. If I want bomb proof Nightforce. I have a Vortex pst gen 1 because it was good enough for the task at a great price. Zero stop great reticle turrets have been spot on in both a box test and a 72" tall target. The clicks have been right on for 10 mils. I have a S&B on a rifle if I had unlimited funds for shooting I'd have all S&B's. I know I will always have 1 and I upgrade that glass about every 6 years if something is drastically better. In looking at the latest upgrades they have made in glass my wife is going to need to make more money so I can get one. It is noticeably better than my PM II:D [/QUOTE]
