Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold 2.5x20 Ultralight Discontinued

I have one on a model 94ae, I feel sorry for those who don't.

Another stupid move by a company that is doing it best to fail.

My use/ownership of Leupold products ceased in 1998.

This is a sad story. Glad I grabbed one recently.

prairie goat;
Top of the morning to you sir, I hope the day's breaking bright and fair down your way and you're well.

Interestingly, well or not depending, I just stuck a 1978 made 2.5X in my pocket for "trading stock" as I head out to the local gun show.

When our girls first started hunting it was on our eldest's Swede carbine and it was noticeably faster than whatever other scope I'd put on there before that for her.

Then it went onto a 336 Marlin that I'd worked over in the shop. It was one of those rifles one had to shoot to appreciate somehow.



Hitting clay pigeons laying on the bank at 100yds was seemingly easy with it. Shooting offhand too.

Buddy came over when I was tuning on it, began to lay down brown bills which are $100 Cdn by the way, until I relented even though it wasn't for sale.

I did keep the scope, but somehow in the years since I've not found a project for it.

All the best to you all this weekend.

The Leupold 1-4's where actually 1.6 on low. They just called em a 1-4. they eventually changed it to 1.5-4 on Various-x and freedoms etc.
Always wanted a 2.5 fixed Leupold never could find one. If so it wasn't much lower in price then a variable.

Unless its wanting toughness is there any reason for the 2.5 over a variable?

6.5 ounces

Really glad I bought one before they were DC’d.
Still in factory shrink-wrap in my safe.
Thanks Phil.

I'll probably lose sleep over that LOL NOT

Gotcha. 3 oz less than their 1-4x20s is a good bit.

Another reason, at least for me, is the trimmer size/shape of the eyepiece doesn't have a clearance issue. The 2.5x fits fine on a Mini-14 Ranch where the 'zoom' ring on the 1-4x20 hits the 'ears' on the rear sight assembly. Those fixed M8-2.5x Leupolds really are awesome scopes!

How do you guys find they do around the end of shooting light? Still work well enough?
