I have a chance to buy a 1-4 x20 Leupold heavy duplex scope from a neighbor for a really good price.I was thinking of mounting it on my AR,here are my thoughts on doing this....I live on a ranch in Oregon,surrounded by thick forest. My AR's purpose is HD,livestock protection and use in the timber. All of this is short range,out to about 150 yards max. I figure this compact scope with the heavy reticle and generous eye relief would work well for that range and the low light conditions. I have a RDS on the carbine now,but my old eyes could do with some help with a bit of magnification. I fully understand this is not a scope for target shooting
Have any of you guys used a scope with this reticle for hunting in the woods? Do you think this would be an improvement over the RDS or a waste of coin?
