Bob..the Leupy will handle those tasks easily...no problemo. Ive done a ton or two of shooting over there with a 1.5-5 Leupold... was just shooting some 8"and 12" gongs with it yesterday @ 300 yds...
Light transmission during last minutes...likewise no problemo, even on 6X...
The durability of the scope is also at the forefront....
