Re: Leupold Fixed 2.5x For Bigger Rifles?

I've used both 2X and 2.5X Leupold (and other makes) scopes for many years on hunting rifles from .375 to .458. They work splendidly on hunting rifles and are not a limiter for long range shots on big game from deer on up. I call 300 yards a long shot. I also don't have trouble using rifles with iron sights for the same shots. Most irons as delivered on a rifle are not suitable and need to be changed. Good irons are not a limiter. Even my M94 in .32 SPL will put 5 into 1 1/2" at 100meters off the bags with select ammo, but would not be suitable for longer range due to their over size beads and U knoches, not to mention the ctg.'s unsuitabliity for much longer shots.
; True testing of sights is from hunting positions, rarely observed during most hunter's single 'sighting-in" session each early fall.
