Just wondering because I read here on this forum that they might not have been. I am interested in being able to wind my 2.5x up or down depending on if I shoot 300 grainers or 405 grainers in my 45/70. Currently the 400 gr speers & 405 woodeleighs are 6" lower at 70 yards that the sierra 300gr HPFN's I shoot. Leupold are reliable enough that you should be able to wind between the two settings and pretty well keep POI arn't they?? | ||

Yeah Don, the loads with a bit of fiddling could probably be bought closer, I would not even be changing them once a week, it would more likely be 4-5 times a year. I was thinking of making a felt tip pen marking on the two spots for the different loads. I was thinking that for some bigger stuff the 300 gr sierra just opens a litle to quickly. | |||

The graduations on low powered friction adjustable Leupolds, are 1" between each line. | ||

Premier Reticles will convert your friction adjusters to the VX-III style 1/4 click if you want something a little more positive, fairly inexpensive too. | ||

eldeguello, I take it you mean the larger lines not the smaller markings in between ?? | |||

I have had several of the 2.5 Leupold Compacts (and like them), but I can't tell you what the graduations represent. All I can tell you is that a LITTLE movement moves bullet impact a LONG way. Don't rely on the "specs" when adjusting your scope. Do it by actual shooting. | |||

quote:The premier reticles click turrets are 1/2", not 1/4" per click. I put a few rounds down range before figuring it out, and mine is 2.5X compact, also w/ a 4a reticle change. Great little scope. | |||

They are agreat scope, the one I put on my 45/70 was ment for my .585 but I thought that one of these scopes is ideal for my 45/70 and a little more versatile than the red dot sight I had on it previuosly. | |||
