Plan to put it on a 16 inch BCM. Any problems or recommendations? I have other AR15 with 2X and 1X PRISM. 1 WITH acog. Thought I would be different. |

I have one on a hunting rifle. It’s pretty old, still works but new stuff I have on other guns…..is much nicer. Even the imported stuff has better image quality. But, mine is 20 some years old. This thing had to be an import, was 500 bucks and side by side with that Leu, no comparison. The Griffin has better image quality. 1x10. Longevity, durability….i don’t know. Pretty new.

Its going to be about a pound less, better in low light and you dont need to worry about turrets getting turned by accident than the above lpvo. I think the classic leupold 4x and 3-9s are great for rifles you're not going to shoot far enough to need to dial. Very light and tough. |

3 X 9 is sort of old school but then the flexibility of the power range is what put it in the old school category to begin with . 3 X 9s sort of got a bad vibe because there were so many scopes made in that range that had marginal quality optics/glass. Leupold , even old ones are the real deal and work quite well in general . I myself prefer the one piece cantilever mount , allows you to place the scope wherever you want it (on a flattop) and allows you to use it on different ARs or swap back to another type optic without messing about with rings and such after you get the scope on the one piece mount . Of course different types of use and shooting will make different types and power of optics your cup of tea but a 3 X 9 covers a lot of ground and is still a midsize and mid weight unit. I do most of my shooting with a 20X leupold target scope ( just because ) but I have a 3 X 9 mounted in its own cantilever mount ready to slap on at a moments notice. These one piece mounts will return pretty close to original zero if you keep track of which notch it was mounted in . |

Maybe thats the trick to good image quality idk. Those turrets pull to adjust so no worries there. Click them back down, locked. My 3x9 leupold has taken a beating for sure on an elk gun. Couple dings in the objective and it has never lost zero. |

| Thanks for the information. I have other AR with different lower power optics. I would put a different optic on it, but since I have this Leupold around and it is good and clear with mildot reticle I figured might as well try it out and also see how accurate it can be with different bullets. |
