too much shit on them now, take off that illumination and just have the lockable windage and elevation turret (twin rotation) and we would have a winner in the 2-12x42 combined with the new reticle choices and the new coating.
For what the suggest retail is and if I were in the price range..... a s/h swaro Z5 or Nightforce/ Trijicon accupower would be better for the $. I like leupold I really do but when that sort of $ is talking you really must compare it dollar for dollar and I know the 3 brands above would win out.
Yeh for that money you can get into Z5 Swarovski which is a lot better glass. However, if you need 30mm the z5 is a no go. Nightforce are practical and robust but the Leupy has better glass imo.
You can even get into some S&B and at price.
Nightforce glass is preddy average and they heavy and cumbersome with massive turrets sticking out
z5 have the worst eye box and only 3/4 rotation
Leapuld arnt the best at anything in particular but they are a very happy medium everything is a compromise somewhere.
I would run a sightron s3 over nightforce
