[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1476192, member: 97196"] A friend recently brought over a new savage 6.5 creedmoor and a 4.5-14 x 50 LRP scope needing some help bedding it and working up a load. When I first picked up the scope it was so light I thought it was a toy but to Leupold’s credit it turned out to be no joke. Clear glass and reliable tracking; not a S&B but it is not meant to be. The main issue I had with it was the parallax adjustment. Be aware that it has to be set to near exact range/focus or the reticle will move as your eye moves. Test and familiarize yourself with the parallax adjustment prior to hunting with it. Otherwise it is a nice scope for the money. We tested the exposed elevation turret (does stick up a bit) out to 900 yards and it was spot on. The total weight of the savage rifle with the scope is 7.1 lbs and it was easily and reliably hitting the 900 yard plate once we worked up a load. For a very light hunting scope the LRP seems to be a reasonable option for those wanting something in the $800 range. [/QUOTE]
