Can you comment on the Leupold Golden Ring®,12-40 x 60 mm)?

I don't have one, but have been at shoots w/ a friend and spotted for him with it.
The one big advantage,and why he bought it) is its long eye relief. If that is a concern of yours, keep it on your short list.
I have looked at a few spotters in stores, and most seem to have pretty short eye relief. With glasses, the Golden Ring eye relief is very nice, allowing me to keep my glasses off the eye piece when cranked up to max power.
I don't have a spotter, so I'll not make anymore comments.

Thanks drano, They are not cheap and I am wondering if there is a better bang for the buck? The eye relief is very important and they appear to be compact. Could you see a .30 hole at 500 yards with it? Is the focus adjustment smooth and precise?
