Choice of Leupold scopes
I will be buying another straight tubed scope for a rifle project. Up until now I've been satisfied with the 1.5-5 X 20mm Leupold scope, but now I see there is a new 1.5-6 X 24mm straight tubed Leupold. Has anyone any experience with the new scope? It will go on a 404 Jeffery.

I have one and it is not as bright as my S&B or Swarovski 1.25x4. It is not even close in brightness to my S&B 1.75x6 but that has a front bell. Try to find one of the straight tubed Nightforce 2.x10 scopes. They are straight tubed and tough as nails for about the same money as the Leupold VX7 complete with illuminated reticle.

I didn't know that Nightforce made a straight tubed scope. I'll look it up.

Have you considered the Nikon African 1x4? I just installed one on a double rifle and am very impressed.

Wink: The Nightforce I'm referring to has been discontinued but are still available. It is a 2.5x10 x24MM straight tube. I know Euro Optics has been closing them out at attractive prices.

Nightforce makes a 1X4 straight tube scope. I have a 2.5X10 straight tube scope that I would sell if interested
