I dont personally own one, but my neice has one in 3-9x40 on her .243. I use Simmons as that is a quick buy when I purchase new rifles. We were hunting during the juvenile hunt here and it was almost dark, we saw some doe and I looked through the scope to see if she had a shot. Like I said it close to dark and the scope pulled in tremendous amounts of light and I could see the doe and thought it was a good shot. I gave the rifle back to her and she looked and decided that it wasnt a shot she was willing to take. I was proud of her for making a hard decision, as she was 10 at the time. Anyway, back on subject, I am convinced in the Leupold quality and plan on putting one on my old rifles and on new purchases too. I wouldnt hesitate to use one.
Curiosity killed the cat, but I was a suspect for a while......
