bionic billy from United States, NM Public Profile
Bought this for a .460 S&W mag handgun because I was told by the manufacturer's rep it would handle the heavy recoil. Practical experience and a lot of wasted, expensive ammo proved them wrong. I could not get the sight to keep zero for even one shot. I had better luck with iron sights at 25 yds.
It's probably a good sight for light caliber weapon. Can't send it back so that's where I will use it and hope it works there.
This is my 4th Leupold scope in the last 3 years. I have a 3-10, two 4-12 and now this 4-12x40 with a mil d0t reticle. Second focal plane reticle with parallaz adjustment (on the objective lense). Eye focus is crisp and there is a locking ring to keep it in place. As with all Leupolds, the magnification ring is easy to operate and the 1/2 power is almost exactly at 6. Eye relief is great. I fooled around with cheaper scopes for the mil dot reticle but after wasting ammo trying to get them to hold zero I returned to Leupold and glad I did.
I bought this scope for spotting at the rifle range where I shoot .308 at 500yds and my old scope shot craps. I found it clear at all magnifications out to 100 yds but it started to get a bit fuzzy at full power at 200 m and it could not resolve holes in white paper at 300m. It did give a fair image on a shoot-n-see target but not real clear. When I went out to the 300m target there were multiple holes in white paper just off the 6" target. Failure to resolve these meant just a waste of ammo without any real ballistic information. I am returning it and Optics Planet was very helpful. I will definitely continue to do business with them.
