Lapua Mega 9.3mm 285 grainers and a Leupy 2.5x20 FXII
11/03/13 12:14 PM

Went out this AM to sight in a brand new Leupy FXII 2.5x20 with wide Duplex reticle on my 9.3x62.

This scope surprised me for a Leupy. Very clear, excellent field of view, click adjustment turrets and at 2.5x20 a good exit pupil for my ageing eyes.
I chose this scope as it is very light weight, fixed power so no stuffing around in the field, a reticle that doesn't cover the target and all up doesn't unbalance a very nicely balanced rifle.

After getting on paper I moved my regular target out to 100 yards and FMD if the old eyes gave less than optimal performance. I changed to a circular target with a 5" inner ring and was able to maintain a constant sight picture.

The top two shot group was with a 285 Lapua Mega and 286 Woodleigh. After a few clicks depression, the centre group was with the 285 Lapuas.

I've had good performance on smaller game up to 60kg liveweight with the Privi Partisan projectile and I expect the RNSP conventionally constructed Lapua will do the same and for larger animals as well.
