I love talking about calibers, their pros and cons, the situations to use them in, their history and so forth. Above all that I love collecting them! But one of the worst parts about the history of firearms and calibers, is that some seemingly great calibers die out.

Another forum I belong to seems to have large contingent of folks with a tangible dislike for Leupold and regularly cite their failure rate and lack of reliability (not if, but when they fail).

For sale.

Nikon Monarch 1-4x20 scope. There are some noticeable ring marks on the tube, as seen in the photos. I had this on a Blaser R8, and those mounts will completely cover up the marks. Otherwise, everything else is in excellent condition. This has the BDC reticle. These are known to be super tough for heavy recoiling rifles. First “I’ll take it” via PM gets it.
