Not slamming, just asking. Why did you choose to go with the Leupold Mk4 8.5-25x50 FFP ER/T Mill Dot Reticle & Barrett BORS System over a better scope?

Re: New Rifles Almost Done

lol. Good question. And i have a very specific answer. On a Blaser LRS, The picatinny rail is extremely short and mounted on the barrel, so it is very far forward. I had a Zeiss Diavari and a USO i tried to mount on it, but i could not get proper eye relief. With either scope as far back as possible, on full power i had my cheek so far forward it was almost off the cheek rest. Leupold MK4 have out of the box some of the best eye relief available, as well as the longer scope tube on the 8.5-25 version, it should allow comfortable eye relief and positioning. I would have loved to have one of my USOs bumped up with their extended eye relief options, but just didnt want to do that at this time. The MK4 will be fine for now.
