The 6x36 was a great scope. It was totally moronic to drop that reticle for the wide duplex, no wonder it didn't sell. I've got my 6x36 LRD on an '06 and consider it the ideal pairing. I wish I'd have bought three or four of those when they were still being made. A 6x36 LRD, fixed 4 or 2.5 with a #4 would be the only new leupolds I could ever consider buying. I wonder how much they've lost in sales the last few years. Seems like they're circling the bowl.
