Not a Leapers, - but just ordered this about 15 minutes ago, some excellent reviews and I want to swap off one of my Power Lines 3-9x32's.

I sent off an order for a taller scope mount and more pellets.

Then sent them an email about returning the other scope mount. They sent a reply. This transaction has been declined.

I found asecond email in the spam folder. They will be glad to give me a refund.

Haven't tried installing the sunshade yet, since I think it precludes the use of the flip up lens caps.

Looks like the exact same scope as the Leapers 3-9x40.

The flip up lense cap slips off the scope and onto the sun shade

I am glad you like it.

  I am still waiting on a new set of rings. They should be here tomorrow.  The bad part is we are working till dark for the rest of the week.

I took the cheep way out and bought the two-piece mount. Leapers Accushot 1" Rings, High, 9.5-11.5mm Dovetail.   Hope it works out.  It has 4 screws on each mount. It should hold.

I am still not sure that it will cock with the sunshade on it.

Woo hoo. The rings are here. Love the scope. The sunshade is a no go. I need a bigger gun.LOL. :D

I mounted it and went out in the dark 50 yards from the yard light and shot 5 shots at a 1.25x2.5 label on a flowerpot at ten yards.  I hit it 4 out of 5 and three were touching. That is with out even trying to zero it.

I know we can whack bunnies under a full moon. I have a couple of skunks hanging about too.
