In just 24 hours, the Leupold impact tester subjects a

lens. First, even at 10x, it has a 4.5mm exit pupil. Second,
the 45mm objective is small enough that you can mount it

For all the shooters worldwide who are rediscovering the
classic lever-action rifle, our M8-2.5x28mm IER Scout is
the ideal choice. Designed specifically for lever-action and
scout-style rifles, it offers 9 to 17 inches of eye relief (IER
stands for “Intermediate Eye Relief”). The Scout is
mounted on the barrel, in front of the receiver.
The M8-4x33mm is a more traditional selection. It offers
the constant, non-critical eye relief typical of Leupold
scopes. While it has a long histor y of success, it’s just

notoriously difficult to satisfy. So it’s no small source

The locking adjustable objective on our BR-D 24x40mm and

scopes’ astounding accuracy. With it, a shooter can hold

Looking through the scope, the space between the tip of the thicker post and the center of the
reticle covers 16" at 200 yards, when set at low power.
So let’s say you’re targeting a deer whose body is 16" backbone to brisket. Adjust the power
selector so that the deer’s body fits between the center of the crosshair and the top of the lower
heavy post. Then, read the approximate distance in yards, from a minimum of 200 at low power
to a maximum of 600 at high power.
The range estimator is available on these Vari-X III models: 1.75-6x32mm E, 2.5-8x36mm, 3.510x40mm, 3.5-10x50mm, 4.5-14x40mm, and 4.5-14x50mm.
