Hmm...never really been a fan to be honest.
Certainly would not pay that for a Leopold :shock:

Sad that the UK has to pay such premiums, the same 'scope is GBP2500 in the USA, however that is the USA and by the time the export licence is sorted out, shipping, VAT, vendor mark up......

I couldnt justify that amount of cash on any scope even a Scmidt which i am a big fan of, I have a Leupold Mk4 1.5 - 5 MRT scope on my AR which is perfect for the job and the optics ar fantastic but 1/5 of the price the

Mk8 must be a very special bit of kit

An American magazine benefitting from American firms' advertising and sponsorship nominate an American scope as 'Optik of the Year.' Now there's a surprise - not!

It's like when they declare their baseball season, the World Series. Always beings a chuckle.

I've never "used" one, but have seen one in the flesh and handled/looked through/coveted....

On the face of it, it is one outstanding scope. No doubt priced for "government" budgets.
