Leupold Mark 4 TMR Spotters — 12-40 vs 20-60?

[EthanElijah]

Looking for info from those of you that have experience with both. I’m most interested in light transmission and clarity when they are both on the same power. In other words, if running at 20x, 30x, etc, does the larger objective on the 20-60 make a noticeable difference?

FWIW, most of the time, we are spotting at 20-30 power. We shoot at ELR distances 2k+, and mirage seems to be the deciding factor which keeps magnification down to tame the mirage as best we can.

I have a 12-40 with the P4L reticle. Its fantastic. The reticle gets a little thick at 30-40x, but for spotting trace, impacts, and calling corrections at 12-20x it's awesome. I dont do ELR per se. I 'only' go out to 1200 regularly with the occasional 1500-mile. At a mile, it does well. Light transmission is great compared to some other, lower-end spotters from Bushnell.

Don't have experience with the 20-60 model.

OP - this is the second post you’ve copied word for word. What’s up with that?

That is quite a red flag. I've caught scammers doing just exactly that.

Ha! Never mind. Our mods are great. I should have looked closer.

Did you notice that the original poster was a scammer who was quickly banned?

I opened this post, because I was interested in seeing opinions on the two scopes. But now I'm curious how a scammer uses a post like this to dupe somebody. Would he turn it into an offer to sell a scope that turns out to be fake? Or offer to buy somebody's scope with a fake cashier's check?

It's a habit of mine to check the post history of a member I'm dealing with. I was suspicious of someone who had a reasonable history of posts, but a few other red flags. On a hunch, I copied an googled a few paragraphs from a post on binoculars and found it was cut and pasted from a bird watching forum.

They will build a quite believable profile, as they know it's one of the things we check. As I'm sure Frank and the mods will attest, the crooks know what we know and are tricky.

As mentioned above, copy/paste posts are used by scammers to rapidly create a ‘believable’ profile and pad their post count to open up PX access.

The scam itself typically does not even involve a counterfeit product. More like you sending nonrecoverable payment for something that the scammer never had.
