Huskemaw vs Leupold Mark 4 Advice???
« on: April 06, 2014, 09:47:03 AM »
I am just looking for some feedback on the differences, which do you prefer and why?  I just bought a Savage Long Range 11/111 in 6.5 Creedmoor and I am looking to top it properly.  Cant afford the nightforce.

For long-range shooting I would get as much magnification as you can afford.  Natchez Shooters Supply has Mark 4's on sale, and with some scopes you get mounts with the scope at no extra charge.  Free shipping on all Mark 4's.  Never had either scope, so I can't say which one is better, but Leupold makes good quality stuff!
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

No comparison in glass. Look thru both. Huskemaw has far superior glass.I own Leupold,Huskemaw and Nightforce.  It depends on you preferences ,needs and pocket book

Take a look at the Sightron SIII scopes. I've had a Huskemaw and still have 2 Mk4s and an SIII. I didn't care for the turrets on the Huskemaw, but the glass very good. The Mk 4 scopes have equally nice glass (to my eyes), and better reticle/turret options than the Huskemaw. It's hard not to like the FFP TMR and M5 turrets. :tup:

The SIII might be your best option or at least worth looking at. They are significantly cheaper than the Mk4 or Huskemaw scopes and to me they have better glass. The turrets feel better as well. I'm not convinced that they are as durable as the Leupold though. I had an SIII 8-32x56 on my 375 BME for about 40 shots before the adjustments stopped tracking. Sightron fixed it at no charge and had it back to me in 3 weeks including shipping time. I moved it down to a 300 WSM and it worked perfectly for hundreds of rounds before it landed on a 6mm BR.
