How many of you guys use a Leupold 1.5x5 on a "non DGR", like your regular deer rifle?
Not at the moment. For several years I carried a stainless / synthetic Remington Seven in 7mm-08 with a Leupold 1.5-5X. It was very good in the huckleberry / tan oak patches I hunted most of the time back then though I liked more magnification in the more open white oaks. I had another on a Marlin SS .45-70 guide rifle.
Though I conceptually like the scope, I think the 1.75-6X was better and the 2.5-8X even more better. I almost never turned that 1.5-5X below 2.5X, so all it really did was take away from the top end without adding anything useful (to me) on the bottom end.
