Leupold Golden Ring Spotting Scope any good?
I tried a Sequoia but took it back cause it worse than horrible. Like looking through a Coke bottle. I need a scope for the rifle range up to 300 yards and some hunting including occasional hunts out west.

I really like my 15-30x gold ring, but the 12-40x is certainly a nice scope. I just wanted something compact and this fit the bill perfectly. Nice clear optics--great warranty.
