Exit pupil and twilight factor are computed from the published magnification and objective diameter, not measured. Real exit pupil is also capped by the erector at low magnification, and coatings and glass quality move low-light performance in ways the formula cannot see — read these as comparisons between layouts, not verdicts on scopes.

For it, on paper

+ 35 mil (120 MOA) of elevation across three revolutions of the M5C3 ZeroLock turret
+ First-focal-plane PR2-MIL reticle, so mil holds are correct at any magnification
+ 30 oz for a 35 mm-tube 5-25x56; Leupold rates it up to 20 oz lighter than class rivals
+ 0.1 mil clicks on both turrets with an integrated high-speed throw lever
+ Side focus from 50 yd to infinity
+ Designed, machined and assembled in the USA with a lifetime guarantee

Against it, on paper

− Windage travel is only 17 mil against 35 mil of elevation
− Non-illuminated reticle in this SKU; illuminated PR1-MIL and TMR versions are separate models
− 15.7 in long with a 56 mm objective, so it needs tall rings and rail length
− 4.2 ft field of view at 25x is narrow for tracking moving targets
