LEUPOLD ?

Do all Leupold 8.5x25x50 LR scopes have a 30mm tube? Say VX-lll?

Maybe ask Leupold?

Thanks. Didn't think I could get an answer today. On hold about 15 minutes, it's all good!

All of the LR scopes were 30 mm tubes.

Before the LR 8.5x25x50 was even produced. Leopld did produce a 1" 8.5x25 Power Long Range scope. Then came the 30mm which superceded the 1", for mor windage and elevation movements. The 1" scope was produce many moons ago.

About a year ago I saw one listed here on Accurate Shooter.

1" = A.O.
30mm = side focus
In that power configuration

Thanks, I thought the 1" were older. My brother had one. Thanks for the replies.

I stand corrected! I bought 30 mm LRT scopes 25 years ago for High Power/Long Range competition, and wasn't aware of that earlier generation. Leupold's promo literature made it sound like the 30 mm LRT scopes were the original.
