They will let you know if you are purchasing an authentic Leupold rifle scope. Their scopes are known for the long eye relief they provide. Eye relief is the distance from the eye piece to your eye that allows you to see the entire sight picture. While many scopes offer only 2.5 to 3 inches of eye relief, a Leupold offers 4 inches of eye relief.

That is, no Mil-Dot, and certainly no BDC on that one. It's an option on the 3-9x. I really like Leupold and if I have been looking for a scope to put on my ARs that was cheaper than an ACOG, but these don't appear to be any cheaper than their VX-II variants. If I was gonna buy a cheap Leupold for pseudo-tactical toys, I'd get a VX-1 2-7x (2.5-6.5x) or the Rifleman version of the same, both of which are 30mm objective and about $100 less than either of the Mark ARs.

Is that a 30mm or 1" tube? That tube is giving you nearly 25% bigger OA than a 20mm. jdun1911, cool scopes. Is that a 30mm or 1″ tube?

That tube is giving you nearly 25% bigger OA than a 20mm.

Google Shopping listing indicates that price. I agree about the good look of tube-sized objective lenses. Something about them looks sturdier to me. Plus I am sure it is pretty light, which is not just good for tacti-cool, but nice for hauling around in the woods. Looks like about $275 for the model pictured?

I bought <a href="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=123107" rel="nofollow">this Nikon scope</a> last month. Very clear, of course it's got a 40mm objective. @jdun1911: 20mm is the size of the objective's diameter not the tube. :) Any word on price? I bought this Nikon scope last month.
