I have owned a few Leupolds in 4X, 1.5-4X on my 358 Win & another will go on the 9.3X62 Simson, 2-7, 3-9 etc. I have just got a 2.5-8X VX3 with Boone & Crockett reticle & put it on my Kimber 7mm08. This has been a huge help & I got a great group at 300 yrs with 3 shots in the bull & 2 more about 3 inches apart. I also have a Swarovski 2.5-10X on my Sako 280 Ackey Imp & that is just perfect! I compared the scopes with a friend who has a 4.5-14 VX3 with B&C reticle - just on dark at 200 to 300 yards, we could see the cross hairs on black cows in the paddock through the Swarovski but not the Leupold!.

I sent a 2-7X back to Leupold as it had a chipped lens caused by carrying on a metal pack frame & they charged me $50 for the lens but did all the other work for free, including replacing some internal parts, seals & freeing up the adjustments.

Always shoot through the target & not just at it.
