After my 8 hour deluge 3 days ago, my scope decided it was time to get moisture inside. Found that out this morning after biking in 3 miles lol. Leupold is what I'm looking for. Not the cheaper company with the "great warranty"

Both have an elevation thing that if you send it in to Leupold you can get a dial that matches your gun and bullets specifically that is accurate from 100-600 yards. Both have great glass and are a great eye relief. Really happy with both of them. Last edited by AUwrestler; 10/21/19 02:26 PM.
