Title: Quality of Leaper's Scopes???
Post by: atomicjoe23 on July 05, 2010, 07:23:51 PM: Saw the Leapers Predator/Varmint hunting scopes and they seem pretty all inclusive. . .

. . .I was thinking about getting 30mm 3-12x44 Compact A.O. scope for my 6.8 AR build (optics are the last thing I will need since my Mag-Pul PRS stock should be on the front porch tomorrow afternoon after work). . .

. . .and I was wondering what the quality of the Leaper's scopes are since I have no experience with them.

Thanks!!!

Your 6.8 isn't a long range rig you might want to look at a Mueller 2x7 with an Ill. Dot. Bushnell Banners, Trophy's (I'm going to run a 1.5x6x40 Ill. Dot on one of my coyote guns this season) or Ledgends are all pretty reliable. The new Leupold backed Redfields are supose to be a pretty good deal.

. . .I think I'm gonna go with the smaller powered Nikon Coyote special in matte black.
