Leupold HAMR with the Delta point on top.

I have no experience with the Leopold HAMR, is it pretty nice to shoot with?
I have read good things about them.

Took a little getting used to, but love it now.  Once you get the muscle memory to tilt the rifle in instead of try to raise your head to see through the delta point, it is a very quick changing optic.

I run the Swarovski Z6i and the Z8i with BRT reticles. No problems with up close on 1x and can easily (sometimes :) ) hit 12" plates out to 500yds. If I am shooting full size targets in hoser mode and want a bigger FOV, the offset irons are the ticket.

Actionshooter, the Z6I and Z8I are awesome optics, and a serious investment!
What are the details (make, model, furniture) of your rifle if you do not mind me asking?

If I was competing I would have justification for that kind of investment in optics. For now the imaginary Zombies and methmagots do not justify that kind of quality, LOL

For similar scopes in a more reasonable price range, check out the Strike Eagle, Leupold makes a couple of 1-6 scopes that are great, Burris has a good option also.

The rifle in that picture is a mix of parts.
Mega Lower
XLR stock
Warne scope mount
Dueck Defense offsets
JP Barrel, comp, handguard, low mass BCG, captured spring buffer, adjustable gas block
AR Gold trigger
Has the recoil impulse of a 10/22 :)

Nice, thank you!

When I got my MTAC 1-4x28, I almost bought the XTR II 1-5x.
I picked the MTAC because it was marked down 25% LOL!
Now I want a XTR II 1-5x, or the Steiner, LOL

The Sig Bravo's are amazing glass, and the price reflects that.

I was looking more for variable options (SFP) so both eyes open for close in work.

Got the XTR II to my front door for $567, and at the time they were running a $100 rebate, so after that it was $467. Not too bad for an $800 scope.

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

I have a Leupold Mark AR mod 1 1.5-4x firedot on my AR and it is awesome. The variable low power scope on an AR is perfect. I am able to reliably hit targets out to 550 yards with it, and with the firedot on 1.5x it makes for an awesome quick acquisition red dot. The optic makes the gun a true dual purpose rifle. It works for home defense, target shooting, and makes a killer Coyote gun.

My only gripe is the target turrets. I just see no reason to have target turrets on a low power scope. Especially with the mil-dot reticle, which by the way makes hold overs a piece of cake.
