It's an excellent optic and a worthy addition to anyone's set up.
I really like the line of 34mm scopes from Leupold over the past year.

While the locking turrets work just fine, they are just a little annoying if you always dial on your elevation. If you hold, they keep the knob from being moved, which is a good thing.
The glass is very good, the adjustments are positive and precise, I really like the TMR reticle. The knobs are large and readable, you just need to get used to pushing the button. I like the S&B implementation of the locking collar better, where it's either locked or movable, but that's just a personal preferance. It's a very nice scope.

Never played with the locking turrets model. But I love the Leupold TMR recticle. You might consider nightforce scopes as well.

Very happy with mine. I have the H-58 reticle in it and find the optic to be top-notch. The 'zero stop' is very easy to use and the locking turret isn't a huge hindrance even when dialing once you're use to it.

Newbie here, I just ordered one for a .308 rifle build with a TMR reticle so I will see how it handles my self soon.

Hi Jon,
The video does go over how to set the 0-Stop, it is quite simple to setup. Just rotate the Stop ring that is under the cap down until it stop, back off until a slot on the stop ring lines up with the triangle, and replace the turret cap and your done.
You guys beat me to posting the video that is great.
