Well I just got my big box of love from LaRue. The top dollar item I ordered was a Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20mm, purchased with the intentions of having a single optic to handle both close range and long distance shooting. Well, I ended up getting another XCR with an EOTech and have it set up for close range and wish to set-up the other for long distance.
I did unwrap the Leupold and gave it a gander, top quality all around. Definitely not disappointed there. I'm just pondering returning it and upgrading to the Nightforce 3.5-15x56mm or a higher zoom Mark 4 Leupold. I'm looking for feedback on Nightforce as far as quality and value goes. It is about $600 more than the Leupold I ordered, but the top end magnification is 3 times greater which is more appealing for hunting.
Assuming your budget permitted either, Nightforce or Leupold?
Thanks for your time and any feedback you can provide.
