I had one for about 10 years. Upgraded to a Swaro. The Leupold is an awesome scope, I just got greedy. It's hard to beat it for the price, warranty and packability.
I own the HD version of the scope and am very happy with it. Clear and light weight. My buddy bought a Televid at the same time as me. I can't say there is a $600 differnce in clarity. In fact I can't tell much difference at all. Also my friend dropped his Televid this fall while deer hunting and it is going to cost him $400 for a new scope body (the glass and eye piece were ok). One more reason to buy leupold.
Do you think there is a big difference in the HD and the regular. Cause i would love the HD but i won't to spend the extra 300 to 500 bucks for the HD if i don't have to
I honestly never comapared them side by side. From information I recieved and research I did I figured the HD was worth the money. Though I know people who are very happy with their regular gold rings as well. Hard choice but I don't regret the one I made at all. Hope this helps.
