Have to eat my words - Leupold 1.5-4x20 Mark AR Duplex Rifle Scope 67170

I will begin by stating that I have never been a big fan of Leupold scopes. My experience with them at work led me to believe that they were nothing more than overpriced for what they actually were.

I looked at several models of scopes for my CAR 15 flat top, including the new Nikon 223 and IOR. But a sale on the Leupold with free shipping was the ultimate deciding factor in my purchase.

My scope arrived the other day and at first I was not too impressed with it. The scope is light in opinion and the power adjustment felt cheap. But later that night, when I compared the Leupold to another scope I was debating about mounting, the Leupold proved to have brighter optics. The only reasons why this gets a good instead of a great rating is that again the power adjustment feels mushy or cheap, it's a two piece tube, and the weight is lighter than it should be INMHO.
Pros: Optics are clear & bright
Cons: Pwr adj feels cheap, 2 piece tube, light
