Has anyone tried, handled, or looked at one of these yet? They appear to be a AR-15 / .223-5.56 MM dedicated scope. Seems like a good idea. Not too expensive, Leupold quality, and calibrated specifically for .223 / 5.56 MM AR-15 rifles.  Bill T.

I put a Leupold VX 2-7 x 33 on my AR and really like it, but this looks like something to look into.

I need to find one of those big levers for adjusting that Jessie Abbate has on her's, because when you need a quick change on a stage the little ring is tough to adjust with sweaty fingers.

I would think any scope you choose that was made by Leupold should serve you well.  I've not had, or heard of anyone having issues.

It took about 10 minutes to find this. Midway's website has been so slow in recent weeks it's all but useless.  Bill T.

That looks like something I might buy once I obtain an AR.

Basicly $350 for a scope? Man, I wish I had the extra coin but Luepold is expensive. I will stick with my iron sights on my AR-15 and will worry about a scope when I pick up my Remington 770 with a Bushnell scope in .308 Winchester.

+1 on the bushnell. My B@L elite (now Bushnell 3200) is the best scope I've ever had. No fog, wide FOV, forgiving eye relief, click finger tip adjustment, and held zero after I dropped it out of my pick up. Plus the light gathering is noticeably brighter than the human eye at twilight. For a hunting scope, you can't do better at the price.
