So, you can try to get by with a lesser scope, but you'll wind up buying this one anyway. Leupold is the go-to for the military for a reason: they work! This scope is clear, no matter the magnification. The huge amount of vertical adjustment means I didn't have to buy a riser. The TMR reticle is a God-send for us non-military trained shooters.The scope caps are a bonus, too. So, you can be like me and cheap out and try a lesser scope only to wind up buying this one. Or, save yourself some money and just go ahead and buy this one.
Pros: Clear optics, repeatable click adjustments, TMR reticle, American made
Cons: Even on sale, it's expensive
