It didn’t ‘follow’ me home...but I am very pleased. After months of thinking and reading, I ordered the Leupold VX Freedom 2-7x33. It is exactly what I was hoping for. It fits the rifle well and looks amazing.

The deciding factors were quality and warranty. I really liked the Nikon, but. Too many questions. I know the Leupold will last and make the most of my rifles abilities.

What a beautiful piece of work. Like I said, Very pleased.
And yes, the skinner peep is still useable. Hah!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Mighty good scope. I put the Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm Shotgun scope on my Henry BB steel .45 Colt. Works like a dream. Glad you like that one. Should work perfectly.

It looks really good. The detachable rings let you keep the peep sight in play, too. Good setup!

Do the Leupold quick release rings have a detent or "set" once they are in position to hold to the base?
I hunt in some pretty heavy cover at times and had concern of the levers getting bumped loose.
I was also curious if the OP had to remove his rear sight.

Very nice set up @Cofisher, hope you get to poke some holes or ring some steel with her soon.
