Hunter, high power & elr shooter - Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44mm Throw Lever

I agonized for a while before buying this lever but finally succumbed. I spent many years as a precision machinist and know the economics involved but it still seems pricey. It is nevertheless an extremely well made and fitted part that adds a final touch to a very expensive scope. It's a fact of life that a reliable variable power scope will require effort to change power. This is an elegant solution that compliments the best tactical scope on the market. It would have been nice for it to be standard equipment but that would still cost. I guess that anyone shooting at this level long ago realized there's no such thing as free lunch.
