Let me first say i've never been a huge fan of Leupold scopes. Has a couple and never kept them long, always seemed to be insufficient eye relief. However, i'm looking for a new scope for my E.R. Shaw built 260 Rem. The majority of my shooting will be in low light conditions, early a.m. and near dusk. I currently am using a Burris 2-12x56 with illuminated dot reticle, but i'm really intrigued with the Leupold VX-5HD 3-15X56 CDS -ZL2 with the FireDot 4 Fine reticle. Bulk of shooting will be on whitetails from 100-400 yards. Never spent $1000.00 on glass before, but ready to take the plunge.
