As good as the older ones? - Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20mm Rifle Scope, 1in Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I've used the scope on a few occasions and found it to be reliable so far (something you would expect with a Leupold). The glass is clear and it tracks well. My only complaints are the reticles. They are much too heavy and I'm not really a fan of the circle in the middle. Also, the scope just doesn't "look" right. Maybe it is the painted power numbers on the ocular lens. Anyway, you can't go wrong with a Leupold so if you don't mind the minor things this will be a great scope for you.
