I own a Springfield match grade M-1-A chambered in 308/7.62×51.
This scope has worked fine out to a thousand meters!
Zero is 275 meters bottle weight and type setting for the chart is a great help.
This scope is almost ten years old.
Best Used for:
- Target and wild pig at long range
Would recommend: Yes

Great scope for the price,good clarity and can be dialed in to suit any caliber. Have not reached out past 500m but is really close with a 6.5 Grendel up to that range. Will buy another when the next build occurs. Turret is a little stiff at first but loosens up with use, not too bad at lower power settings but tougher at high power settings. Love that the scope can be used three different ways, auto range, manual mode or the use of mil dots.
Would recommend: Yes

This Scope has The best feathers I have ever seen. I have used the original ART ll in Viet-Nam and it worked flawlessly. 1968-1969 With the 5th Special Forces. The Leatherwood product is rugged, The scope is easy to set up for use by a anyone that wants to shoot and hit the target the first time.
Best Used for:
- Medium- to long-range hunting/target shooting
Would recommend: Yes

Quick target acquisition, and excellent optics! The adjustable cam really pays off when ranging targets at longer ranges...The ability to lock on and range targets was very useful!!
The adjustable CAM has simplified my ranging abilities to quickly lock on varmints regardless of range out to 600+ yards.
Pros:
- Target acquisition
- adjustable cam
Best Used for:
- I am using on AR-15 .223 for varmit hunting
Would recommend: Yes

I used the much younger brother of this product back in the early 70's in places that we still don't talk about today. The M-1000 has some significant improvements to that earlier model but I still maintains the the confidence in the quality, ruggedness, and functionality of that old friend of mine. I took it to the range for the first time a couple of weeks ago mounted on my AR-15. No bore sight performed. Started out at 25 yards to get it on paper. after three shots and tweaking, we moved back to 50 and fired 3 more shots, tweaking as we went. Then it was out to 100 yards using the first mark above the zero cross (as outlined in the manual. 9 rounds fired, with tweaking after the first three rounds. The remaining 6 of those rounds were fired from a lead sled to guarantee no shooters jitters. All 6 rounds could be covered by a 1963 50 cent piece (the same one that I have carried around in my pocket since 1972. I call that a statement of satisfaction. Will I recommend this product to anyone considering purchasing it? HE## Yes I Will. I might add that I added a small drop of Gun Tight to the locking knobs of the mount to ensure they didn't work loose.
Pros:
- Quality, Price, Service and Fit
Would recommend: Yes

I installed mine on an AR-10. Quick install. Functions great. First down range was just flat fun. There was room to shoot at distance and it did well. Now, just fine tuning us. Can see advantages on other rifles.

This scope appears to work well, but the chart that comes with it for calibrating it is very limited and does not include some of the most common ammunition. The scope arrives already mounted in the rings, but I found mine to be canted to the right a bit. I loosened the ring screws to rotate the scope tube to remedy the cant and found the front mounting screws were already loose, or so I thought. I leveled the scope and as I was tightening the ring screws I found that the front ring cap was not recessed enough for the screws and that the mount threads were in fact stripped due to inadequate thread engagement because the screws were too short since the cap was not allowing enough protrusion of the threads to engage the mount. I emailed hi lux a week ago and have not heard back from them on this issue. Apparently quality control is not up to par. I will need a new front mount, cap, and screws now. They are not a standard size stocked by my local hardware store, or I would opt for screws that are a bit longer to remedy this. They don't match up with standard now metric screws that the hardware store stocks. The pitch appears to be non standard.
Pros:
- Easy to use features
- easy installation
Cons:
- Quality Control
- customer service
- Setup is complicated when ammunition not listed on included chart is used.
Would recommend: Yes

I put this on a Colt Le901. I guess i am kind of old school with an M1 and 1903a4. I saw the originals used in Vietnam. This scope mounted easily and have only been able to use it on a 100yd range. It looks really good on the LE901 ( old school ) and the combination is very accurate. I just purchased a LE6940 upper and have not had the chance to see if the scope will hold zero if a switch them from one to the other.
I am planning on getting another scope for the 6940 but this way I can use it as a backup if needed.
Pros:
- Mounts quick and secure
- good multi purpose
- glass is clear and sharp
Would recommend: Yes

I have this scope mounted to my M1A and have fired a couple hundred rounds through it. I have had no trouble sighting this scope in so far. The first time my gunsmith bore sighted it and I had no trouble with it. The second time I needed to sight it I got that done easy enough. I have had more trouble with my Springfield M1A than I have had with any thing else. Buy it, switching range is that easy. Watch the videos a couple times, gain experience and you will enjoy this scope.
Pros:
- accuracy
- Easy mounting
- easy of finding range
- 10x
Cons:
- Weight (oz) 26.30 , not really that bad for a scope with this quality and size of glass
Best Used for:
- hunting
- sport shooting
- protection
Would recommend: Yes

Ithink works very well on my 'AK' and I also transition it to my winchester '94' 30/30. With multiple setting for zeroing it, I can simple going to the setting for the weapon I am using and never loose the other setting for my other weapons. Great .. more than I expected.
