LJSLeica Scopes
I treated myself to one of the demos Camera land has in 2.5x10 scope. My initial reaction was positive although the scope is a little boxy and the duplex a little thin for my tastes.
A word of caution: If you are a scope switcher, you will be amazed how easily the finish on the scope is scratched. If you buy one, order a touch up tube from Brownells. Put it on and leave it alone is my advice!

rnoviI have two and will be ordering a third. My eyes just plain like them.
Admittedly, I have them in a #4 and #1 - I'm not really interested in the normal duplex as I agree, most duplex rets are just too thin.

OngweI have two also, both with #4 reticles. The other night I was setting out in the yard after sundown comparing a Leica, a Swarovski and a Zeiss Conquest. They were all set on 6x. While I could see later with the Leica, the reticle disappeared fairly early.
Which is a pity...if the reticle was about twice as heavy, the 2.5-10x with the #4 could easily be my favorite scope.

Exactly the reason why I ordered a #1 reticle this time around. I too lose the finer #4 reticle in the dark
IMO, a heavy #4 would be the bees knees.
