I put one on a M70 Fwt in .308 this past deer season. It's a great little scope and my second in the 2-7X range. My first was a Bushnell 3200. Both have pros and cons. The biggest con of the Leupold for me is not having a hydrophobic (water repelling) coating like the RainGuard coating. Unlike the Bushnell, the Leupold doesn't suffer from the tube effect. I hunt in the foothills of the Catskills and usually keep it on 2 or 3 X for hunting in the thickets we have and will only crank it up to the 7X for zeroing the scope or shooting to check the zero.
