This seems to be the ultimate for general use. I bought one quite a few years back when they were new and it is my best scope quality wise all around. I first bought it to put on my .50 BMG AR50 , but found it was not really the hot set up for the extreme ranges I was shooting with other .50 bmg friends in the desert. So it went back on first a custom .264 Win model 70, again for small targets at beyond 600 yards not enough power. It finally lives on my Smith enterprise prepped M1A I have had for 30+ years in a Sadlak mount and it is indeed perfect for how I use the rifle. Soooo when I built an AR10 a couple years ago I thought about putting it on there but remembered all the ammo I burned to get it sighted in and have logged the number of clicks at various ranges and thought - NAW ! I I finally put on a fire dot duplex side focus Leupold 3-15x and low and behold the HD glass on this new Leupold is brighter than the bomb proof Night force and lighter weight too. I seems perfect for the AR10 , I first tried a VXR 2-7 on it and it wasn't enough, the rifle outran the scope after 400 yards. At 600 yards with Federal match ammo I can get 6"+- groups from bags with my all Aero except Criterion 18" stainless fluted barrel , Timney 4 lb single stage "AR10 competition" trigger and JP adjustable gas block ,AR10 build . My son did face off the upper receiver with a precision mill cut before we put the barrel on with the Aero free float system nut . It is much more accurate than the M1a which resides in Calif. and the AR10 was built and remains in Oregon
That's a really, really good point! To answer your question, I'm trying to use it for hunting deer at around 200-300 yards range. And thank you, Gordon, for such a wonderful story and recommendations -- I'll keep them in mind!This seems to be the ultimate for general use.
