Have a pair of SH 4-16's, pair of EPL 6-24's, pair of EPL 4-16's, Pair of LH 4-16's. And one of their NV scopes. I like ALL of these....... Here's a pic of an LH 4-16 on a 17 hummer from yesterday....

I recently picked up the LH-4 6-24x50. It's mounted on an AR-10 in a 20-moa base. To me it seems like a good value for the money. I cannot really complain about anything so far.

I've better than 20 of 'em now,including the NV with LRF and the 1-8x. Hint.
My $2000 Reupold MK5 HD and $1000 Reupold MK 4 HD,couldn't even BEGIN to keep mechanical pace with ANY Barkin' Arken. I favor the 4-16's and have all versions in Mil/Mil. Hint.
Rings/mounts are killer too. Hint.
Just sayin'..............

Put a NIB Reupold MK4 HD 2.5-10x Mil/Mil FFP on a 1-8" Teeker 223,yesterday,that does nice things with Lapooey,400's,Lever' and 75 ELD Smooches(CTR mags). Hint. It went from that,to these 3-shot "groups",with same Lot of ammo,with the Reupold. Hint. Plenty of rice in Reupold,but no meat. Hint. In fairness,the Reupold was fhuqking dismal at 50yds on my Bart' barreled Vudoo. First (3) shots,after an erector dump and return to it's zero stop,in piss flat weather. Hint. Pardon wares that exist. Hint. Just sayin'....................

big stick uses leupolds as lapping bars, for lapping rings. but I am curious why if he thinks the scopes sucks that they would even be suitable even as lapping bars.

Anyone have them and your opinion. MTG I can only speak for the EPL-4's. But I have no complaints. Have shot them on AR's and bolt guns. So for so good.

I don't think anyone is really that serious, but it pretends to make a good argument.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
