Sir Ron,

Inspired by your observations about the Leupold Freedom 1-4x25 I’ve been looking for one and found my preferred model, the MOA Ring reticle, today.

It’s now mounted on the Hawkeye African hybrid 458 WM on the steel Warne rings. I’m staying with the principle that light scopes tend to fare better in hard recoiling DGRs. IIRC This scope weighs about the same as the reliable old Leupold 2-7x28 Compacts I’ve used for many years.

Plan to sight it in this week and will also check the new FS as a backup.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
