I have a a handful of leupolds with LRD's. as mentioned they are meant to be used at max power. I have them on a 250AI, 6.5 CM, 7mm-08Ai, 300WSM and 338RCM I also have a 7 SAUM and a 308 with the Burris B-plex, pretty much a similar thing except the burris aiming point is better.

I will start by getting a decent zero at 200, but I wait for a nice still day and to the final zero with the 400yd dot at 400. The 300 yd dot and crosshairs might be off a touch but not much. For me its nice to know that I can pick up any of my standard rifles with dotz and know that crosshairs=200, 1st dot 300, 2nd dot=400 or close enough not to matter on anything coyote or larger. It keeps things simple.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
