Thread: Leupold M8 6x42 Scope Review

I have a 6 x 36 leupold of I suspect a similar vintage.
I used it for years and it was my favourite scope on my .223 , it did everything I needed without hassle.
The rifle was sold and the scope went into the cupboard until recently.
I dug it out a couple of weeks ago when I finally realised and admitted that my eyes have deteriorated to a point that I couldn’t use the iron sights on my .22 mag Ute rifle effectively anymore.
The 6 power leupold was the perfect solution because of its rugged simplicity.
During the setup faze it became apparent that scope technology has come along way , and the clarity and quality of the scope was seriously lacking compared to my other newer scopes .
I relegated it back to the cupboard and mounted another spare scope I have , Meopta 3-9 x 42 the difference is like night and day literally.
