That's the one I like (Leupold 4x) when I don't feel confident about one of several of the last Weaver 2.5Xs I have. I prefer the view and size the Weaver offers over the Leupold. The Weavers have never given any trouble even on the light Ruger #1-S I've shot a good quantity of heavy 45-70 loads through. But�. is it snobbish to think that these $130 scopes are inferior, quality-wise, for this purpose?


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
