I have two of the 6.5-20x50 and a buddy has one as well. All on some kind of custom 6mm something or other.
I own a SHV NF as well. 5-20x56
The TMOA reticle is in my opinion an easier reticle to look at than the MOAR on the NF. The MOAR seems to get just a tad thick for my liking at higher power.
The scope tracks very well, ive ran both my guns up, down, up and down and have always had it return to zero as well as come up the correct MOA needed.
The zero stop Leupolds uses is very well thought out and simple to use.
15 MOA of elevation per turn, windage dials are labeled right and left. The windage turret also comes with a thread protector if you choose to take the cap off and leave it off.
Glass is very good. I think it's as clear as my SHV. It might give up a little to the SHV in brightness. However objective lens are different shapes and sizes.
The SHV seems to focus for my eyes slightly better than the LRP. I.e on my orange paster with black center, the black center is more defined with the SHV than the LRP.
LOTS of elevation adjustment in the LRP. I believe the 6.5-20 has 90 moa both wind and elevation. The 4.5-14 has 120.
For the money I think it's a hard scope to beat. The SHV is possibly a little better optic but it also costs another 300-400 dollars depending on model and if weight is a concern the Leupold is hands down the choice to go with.
Overall I wouldn't hesitate to buy another LRP.
My only wish is they made an MOA version of the scope in FFP.

One thing I would add to xsw's comments is optic brightness is not always a determining factor for glass quality. I have looked through many cheap scopes that were bright in mid day but then failed at every other aspect as conditions changed. I have two rifles I use for coyote hunting with scopes that I consider upper mid level and high level scopes. One has an older Leupold VX iii 2.5-8x36 and one has a couple of years old Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x44. For whatever reason the Leupold is better at looking into shadows but the Z6 is better in low light. And when I mean low light I mean when the exit pupil for both is the same taking out the difference of objective size the Z6 has better light transmission.
The LRP scopes were designed for PRS and LR hunting so if this fills your criteria then you will have a very good scope. Just don't expect them to be as good as a scope that costs 2-3 times more.

Well, It will be for mainly early morning, late afternoon coyote. So it is for sure a concern. This might be a stupid question, but on a second focal plane, impact 29 moa reticle, at what magnification are the subtensions accurate?
Max magnification. You can use it on other settings but it takes some work to figure it out.
Gents they make the LRP in FFP MOA

I am looking at them too. I'm really stuck between the SHV, LRP, SWFA, or Vortex.
Seem like a hell of a scope.
