I put this on a Marlin 45-70 and for me, it is the perfect scope. It is compact, low profile, has a good magnification range, and finger adjustable knobs with audible clicks. Perhaps the only negative I have found is that since the knobs are low profile, it may be possible that your fingers can also turn the golden ring under the knob that acts as a dial indicator. This can make it difficult to return to your zero if you did not count your clicks. My fix for this was to put a small white dot on the dial indicator to visually assure that nothing has moved. I feel that this is a minor issue and I am completely satisfied with the scope and would recommend it. The dial indicator issue may also only pertain to my uses because I have to dial in approx. 20 MOA to shoot at 300yds.

I bought this scope for my DSArms SA58 FAL rifle. I originally wanted the MK4 version but after some research found this scope to be almost identical except for the gold ring (blackened on the mk4) and the reticle (mk4 has a tactical reticle option only found on that model). Coupled with a LaRue mount, this scope is rock solid and will perform just as well as the $200 more expensive MK4 model. Works great in low lighting thanks to the Twilight coating. As with all Leupold scopes, the quality is outstanding. Will perform well in hunting or tactical roles and after owning a Nikon Prostaff (which is also a great scope) on my R700, I like the fact that it has finger adjustable dials and I don't have to use a penny to adjust it.

Compact scope with bright and clear optics with no noticeable edge distortion. The scope has good eye relief and the reticle is easy to see in limited light. The windage and elevation knobs are easy to adjust and the adjustments are repeatable. I am planning on purchasing another one of these for a 450 Bushmaster AR-15.

He gave me the confidence to know that I had made the right decision to buy this specific one.I placed the order it was delivered in perfect condition could not of been anything more than a pleasant experience all round.. My husband was so surprised and impressed with the gift it was exactly what he wanted. I can not express how greatful I was for all the help it truly made the perfect gift. Vanessa

I wanted to keep things simple, so this is a perfect setup on my AR-15 style carbine. Does not take up too much space like other scopes, not bulky either, also it does not weigh down the rifle. The neoprene scope cover is perfect protection, plus it takes off easily when out hunting. There are no batteries and other gadgets to deal with, so it's great for varmint hunting in below zero weather.

Pros:  Good optical clarity, solid construction, great warranty, gloss finish.
Cons:  Not a great value.
Would recommend:  yes

Scope exhibits good optical clarity but not up to the edges. There are much better values, but if you are looking for a durable rifle scope in a gloss finish there isn't much else to choose from. It performs well, and can be depended upon, so it is a good choice for a dangerous game rifle.
