Reviews & Ratings for Leapers 5th Gen 6-24x50 Full Size A.O. Range Estimating Mil-Dot Red/Green Zero Locking/Resetting Scope — 13 reviews — Page 1

I may be going out on a limb giving this glass 5 stars, but I am downright impressed. The optical clearity, the red/ grn reticle illumination, the so far solid as a brick s@$thouse build, all for under $150.00... Really! I had spent the week prior looking at a cpl of pieces of glass from makers of 1200.00 + scopes, and this just felt just as good, looked just as good. It's going on a souped up Rem 308win, and i cant wait to run it through its paces. I will deff throw any new info this way when i accomplish this tasker, and I'm looking forward to see how well it functions in sub zero temps.

Pros: broader Mil Dot spectrum, Good Reticle Illumination, great clearity, has the heft and solid feel of scopes costing well over $1000.00
Cons: Needing to ensure you have an allen wrench for the turret locking feature, but no big deal to have one in the Magpul MIAD grip

I have 3 of these scopes and love them, had to return 1 because it was defective (windage adjustment wasnt working) factory defect, but quickly got a replacement, exceptional clarity from 6 to 20x magnification, past 20x it gets a bit blurry, but if you take the time to adjust the objective focus, the picture comes clear and im able to clearly see my target at 500yrds with no problems. Decent at low light. Not exceptional, but good enough for the money your paying for

Sure its not as clear as a leupold scope, but for what it delivers at $100, awesome value!

good range of MOA clicks for windage and elevation, holds zero under .308 (Benelli R1 and DPMS LR308) and 7.62x54r (Mosin Nagant) recoil.

i got the Leapers Quick Detach scope rings (make sure you get that lever screw on tight) and am able to put 3 rounds in the same hole at 100yrds repeatedly, sand bagged front and back of course, this scope and my rifles are far more accurate than i will ever be.
Pros: Clarity, durability, exceptional build quality
Cons: you need to have an allen wrench with you at all times to adjust windage and elevation

i was skeptical, but now i am a believer! this scope is more than i expected and hope that nothing happens to change my mind.
Pros: great clarity, great price, sub 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards
Cons: placement of reticle illumination knob

I think this is a great scope. It is clear, powerful, the mil-dot is 16 dots instead of the standard 12. It is great for its purpose and is very accurate.

The only complaint is that, with the left side adjustment being for the illumination, the focus is at the front end of the scope. So, if you have the very nice included flip-up covers on, you have to take the front one of in order to do any significant level of focusing. It can still do fine tuning without issue, but it is a problem if you are shooting at many different ranges over a short period of time.

Overall, I really like the scope and I have learned to adapt to the shortcomings. It certainly has the best reticle I have found. Just make sure you put on medium rings because the 50mm lens won't fit on most short rings.
Pros: High Power and selectable reticle illumination
Cons: Focus set-up

This is a good scope for the money. Within 100-200 yards it is very good. Past about 200 yds I wanted more magnification. Still a very good scope. Illuminated reticle seems to work well.
Pros: Sharp optics
Cons: Not good for extra long range hunting

Good scope for the money.
Pros: Great price
Cons: Too many adjustments front to back

I put the scope on a custom 10-22 the first problem was the alen wrnech supplied would not fit the windage adjustment after playing with it for a while was able to adjust it, after sighting it in the green illuminating quit working the red works fine replaced the batteries and still green does not work, after sighting in the scope I have been to the range 4 time and fired 300+ rounds of .22 and it has held its accuracy took it to the 100yd range adjusted it then took it back to the 50yd and tried the 0 resetting and it worked flawless hitting 3 of the 4 1/8 in sized red diamonds on the "shoot n see" I would recomend this scope for the price and accuracy it is a good deal
Pros: Clear and zero resetting is nice
Cons: green dosent work

GREAT SCOPE FOR THE PRICE.

Are there better scopes? Sure, I have a $300 Nikon that is just a little clearer, but not as powerful. So is it worth it to spend 3X more? Not to me, I wish I could return the Nikon and keep that extra $200.

love the scope. its pretty damn big on my rem. .270. with the 6-24x zoom it def. has the power for the long range shots.... it also helped when zeroing with a bore sight ((recommend the Yukon offered on this sight)). very very fast shipping, 24 hours on ups 3-6 day. the illuminted red/green is useful. also has a parallax for dif. ranges... i would HIGHLY recommend this scope. the only con is the closer ranges, but what am i gonna shoot at close range with a .270 bolt action anyways?
Pros: awesome zoom. the illuminated reticle is a plus, lots of extras
Cons: not for close range, but o well
