Never used one, so I don't know. Had any problems with yours? If so, did Leupold fix it without hassle? Thanks. |

It showed up in the mail today, so it's not even zeroed. It's currently -7 degrees where I am, so it won't be zeroed for a while. Best person to ask might be @MNRidesHonda, he seems to know a few guys over at MARSOC who are currently using these scopes. IIRC, he posted pics a few pages back from a friend who had an M8541A on his K1, because the Mk6 went down and he swapped it out. |

So, in my experience--my Mark 6 has been spotless for tracking, passing the box test with no issues. Buddy of mine bought one for his RPR, and it would not pass, a call to leupold and it was back in thier hands, and back in his hands all within 2 weeks with the tracking issues resolved. Leupold very much stands behind their products. |

I was done with clones. This thread has influenced me into a MK11 Mod 0 and M110 clone. You guys are great.

The Mk6 on the MARSOC K1 you mentioned wouldn't track correctly hence the school house lent the guy an M8541A. I never did like Leupold. Had 2 Mk8 CQBSS that shit the bed and they went back to Leupold which took ~60 business days to get them back to me and they were still broken so I gave up on them about 3 years back. Once my friends in MARSOC and SOCOM told me that they can use their own personal optics on issued guns, and some of them did in fact took their own optics on deployments, I never did care for "clone correct" optics anymore. |

I can understand the mindset, especially having used a fair shit of mil issue kit downrange that wasn't worth a shit. I'm kicking myself myself for selling the S&B 4-16x PMII I had. Oh well. The MK5HD 3.6-18x is good to go and satisfies the requirements, so I'm leaning toward running that exclusively. |

For what it's worth, I love the aesthetics of Leupold optics - especially on SR25 variants. That said, Nightforce optics are just as sexy.

I have over 40 NightForce scopes in my collection right now, so I couldn't agree more! NightForce for life!!! @USMCSGT0331 Yeah the S&B was a unit scope (like the #33 @Teufelhunden1 posted in this thread a couple pages back) with rack #24 engraved on it IIRC, and it had an H27 reticle in it. One of the less common variants. Would've been a great fit for the MK11 had I known I'd be building one. I'll stick with the MK4. It's true to form and Leupold assured me they'll take care of me if I run into issues. BTW, I think I've seen your collection of NF glass in the mil sniper rig thread. Nice collection of glass you got going on there. The envy of all of us no doubt. |
