I was taking inventory here. On my rifles are a 8x, 12x, and 16x Leupold's. None of these models are still made. These scopes have been with me for over thirty years. Scopes still work very well. Others are more recent. I'm not a fanboy but have done business with Leupold many years. This history brings me back. This is not low rating anybody's brand. Just my personal #1 preference. The most recent Leupold is a VX2 4-12x50mm. That glass suits me just fine.YMMV My other Bushnell's, Nikon's, and Burris, scopes had been mounted on rifles that came this way in trades.
