Just bought a 2.5-8x Leupold EER for a 17 Fireball XP-100 i use for predator hunting, and had an M1 elevation turret installed on it. Turn around was maybe 10 days or so, and i swear it is so cool. Took this rig out last week and sighted it in and it was doing ~3/4 MOA all the way out to 425 yds. on a nice calm day. 225 zero needed 7.5 MOA to get to 425 [25 V-Max @ ~2900]--

Thks. Man it really is--super-low recoil still gets me to 400 or so on the calm days [300ish for coyotes].
I actually prefer the 2.5-8 Nikon just due to cost. Nikon gets me a BDC reticle, and low profile tgt. turret all for ~300. The Leupold as set up above is ~600. But it does have 100 MOA of turret adjustment to it. Nikon's about 40.

Pretty bad azz....I like it...Kind of cute
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

That scope would NEVER be enough zoom for hunters using a buttstock Good shooting indeed.
