I bought this to scope a M-48 Yugo Mauser to go with the S&K Mount. My groups were instantly cut in half, and with Yugo surplus 50's ammunition it was shooting about 4MOA, which is about the limit of that stuff. I then put some higher grade M75 sniper through it and got down to about 2MOA. The point is, if you have been thinking about scoping an old surplus Mosin or Mauser, go for it! You don't have to drill or tap anything, and this scope will do fine out to 200 or 300 yds. It has really added to my enjoyment of shooting this old rifle (and old ammo!) and I don't think there is a better choice than this scope. I've put several hundred rounds through it already, and no problems holding zero.

I have put this scope on my Ruger M77 Mark II Frontier .308 rifle which has a forward barrel-rib scout-style scope mount. This scope is made to be used with both eyes open, making it easy to quickly pick up ones target and maintain a wide field of peripheral vision. Eye relief is generous over a 6 inch range.

Great scope for a white tail rifle. Mounting it forward allows for quick target acquisition. The duplex shows fine in normal and bright daylight and is still good in low light. Very clear objection and the great quality you expect from Leupold. It is compact and light, making it no burden to carry. I find it is the best scout scope out there. It may be expensive, but with the Leupold quality and guarantee, it's worth it.
