[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2820259, member: 8394"] Home for mothers day and was over visiting at a friend's house, he whipped out a 2-10 mark 5 from his closet. He has a 3.6-18 that he loves and had ordered this for a sfar in 6.5 creed that's being built. It was the non illum tmr version. Honestly I don't get it, the idea is absolutely where I'd like scopes to be but somehow it's all wrong. The tmr doesn't do great in this power range, although truth be told it's not my favorite reticle in any scope so my bias shows in that regard. The 35mm tube makes senses from a manufacturing standpoint as it borrows from its larger power mark 5 brethren, just can't help but think it's not needed and adds weight in this category. It also makes it a royal pita for rings, 34mm on a mpvo or better yet 30mm makes more sense. The concept of mpvo meaning internal adjustment is less critical. The head scratcher is the 30mm objective, why they opted for 30mm I'll never know. Usually leupold hates doing new stuff unless it's oddball tube diameter so was expecting 33, 40 or 42 as those are leupold standards they could have used. My truck gun is a Vx-5hd 2-10×42 and at alaska dusk (10pm in early may is still mostly light out but was as late as tested) the 42 was perceptible lighter although it could be the sfp vs ffp as much as the 42 vs 30.. still and odd choice. Tldr... reticles don't seem well suited, 35mm main tube is an odd choice, the 30mm objective seems like it should have been a 40 or 42, and it's actually rather chunky for filling the mpvo space. The thing that bothers me most is stacking it up against a 2-12x Athlon ffp scope he has on a b mag truck gun. It's nearly the same weight, perceptably brighter with a far superior reticle for game use 30mm main body, illuminated without a 500$ upcharge and 2x more top end. Granted the glass is a bit clearer but not 5x the cost, heck it's not double better. If the Athlon wasn't ccp it would win hands down no questions asked. The leupold just makes me wish leupold did better... [/QUOTE]
