The new Leupold is very good, except that I cannot get it mounted so as to avoid the sight picture developing a black halo on maximum magnification. If I get it any closer to my eye (even if I could) I am going to get a few black eyes from the recoil. I really dont want to change the mounts as they are quick release and ideal for dangerous game hunting when you want to very quickly go to open sights after using the scope.
