Lets break down the features and what they mean to the practical shooter.
The optical quality of this Leupold scope is fantastic, which is not surprising.
When shooting tight groups at 100 yards on 10X, its crystal clear.
How about the ease of zeroing and floating your turrets?
I like to keep things simple.
Holding zero will tell you how durable and dependable your optic is.
How well is that optic built, and can you trust it to be zeroed when you need it?
Tracking is how well an optic can make adjustments with precision while also returning to a proper zero.
If you are out west with miles of expanse, you may want a 5-25X or higher.
For me, the do-all-range seems to be the 3-18X.
Reticle options are a big one.
Personally, I prefer Mil-dot reticles, which is exactly what the Mark 5 3.6-18X comes in.
The Leupold scope is afirst focal plane design.
Having locking turrets is just one more way to ensure they only move when you want them to.
