I'm here. The zero is set up for 50 yards with slugs in a shotgun, and the muzzleloader is set up with balls. After that, there are two smaller circles for 75 yards and 100 yards beneath the horizontal reticle. I think this is an excellent idea, even if it seems approximate. My favorite part of it is the last line. This is a picture of the reticle from the Leupold website. It's a Thunder runner when you're stuck in a storm
When I cited mine in at 50, it worked just fine up As you dial it in, you are able to start at any power and then dial it in for the load
You can rest assured Leupold products are backed by our legendary warranty, but make sure they're listed with a retailer who is an authorized Leupold dealer. Leupold isn't affiliated with any of the retailers selling on the Amazon market place and therefore, we cannot state with certainty that they are selling authentic Unless the seller brings the price down to less than normal or the seller's name doesn't sound familiar, there is a good chance they are not authorized Leupold resellers.
Never have I seen a knock off of a It is however noted that all of the rings have the same serial number (that number has not been disclosed to me), and that the gold ring's lettering is "sloppy.". On Monday, I may have more information about a major gun show that I am attending this weekend. Despite its name, Leupold does not sell direct, only through their custom shop for specialized orders. In most cases, scopes are distributed to a retailer, then sold at retail.

Although I have been an avid Vortex optics customer for many years, I decided to test this with the new CVA Paramount muzzleloader I bought just recently. Sorry to say, this scope does not appeal to me. I was disappointed because this scope is no where near the quality of my Vortex scopes and it has only 60moa of elevation adjustment instead of 70moa. Using the 20moa rail cva requires for the paramount, I have run out of elevation adjustment and at 100 yards I'm still an inch and a half too low. My opinion is worthless when it comes to the scope. You are forgiven if I went out with you, Vortex, please accept my apology. My life will never be the same after that.
The caliber is 50. I have owned countless Leupold scopes in the past and have never experienced a single issue with one. My new muzzle loader was a no-brainer when it came to choosing a Leupold. It seemed that way to me. i received the scope this morning (thanks amazon prime! The Leupold I expected was not what I got! In spite of this, the optics were of the excellent quality that Leupold is known for, and the eye relief was adequate. My overall regret is that I should have spent $300 on a Vortex or Nikon instead.
150 grains of pyrodex pellets were used. The Hornady SST cartridge weighs 250 grains. There are 50 bullets in the gun. Despite being a little off, I was able to get it dialed With the cross hairs set at 100 yards, the target was dead on. Using 150 as a starting point, the dot below was dead on. It is unknown what the second (lowest) dot should be, but I would guess that it would be accurate between 175 and 200. It is 200 yards long. The cross hairs were used to shoot a 10 point buck that I shot yesterday, 11/11/2019, from 90 yards. This stopped him dead There's no doubt in my mind that I would purchase this scope again.
I will just leave it at that. Installed on a HP A Wheeler installation kit is used to install a 20 gauge single shot. My first time with it, it took only three slugs for it to get dialed in and I was able to take a young buck. As you might expect from Leupold, the clarity and quality are excellent. It will be dialed in for up to 200 yard shots next season to see if I can really stretch out the shot.
It's a nice scope for the price and the ballistic drop dot holdover makes it very practical after you figure out how it works and try it out with your load and bullet. As soon as I mounted myself, my first shot was too The second shot was hitting bullseye after some elevation adjustments, so I am not needing to adjust it at this point.
For the 50 clams you could include a scope cover, but for the 300, you could include a scope.
On my brother's 50 cal cva I mounted the scope and it worked perfectly.
I love it!.
