All I want to know is if Leupold can index match the lens, eclipse the front bell, and Multicoat4 everything, why in hell can't they make a 3x scope again? Same length as the previous version please......... +1 I don't even TRY to compete for them on the used market! There are some pretty fast and dedicated shoppers out there.

For as many times as this comes up, perhaps this should be a sticky.

Um, that'd be me!  Didn't really "dig it up" so much as came across it from a link in another thread. But really, how many times has this or very similar question been posted?

Same length as the previous version please......... +1 ... and make sure it is the same (long) length as the old one! Some of the scopes that I would otherwise buy (Leupold 2.5) are too bloody short to mount on a real rifle (a long action 375 H&H for example!) without ugly extension mounts. John

Given the glass and coatings of today, along with other design evolutions in the scope business, I would bet that Leupold would have a very hard time making a 3x scope today that has the same length as the old ones. In fact, I would bet that task would be daunting, and not cost effective.
