Re: WTS Leupold MK 4 8-25x50 ER/T M5 turrets w/ TMR FFP

Platapus what is the diference between the LR/T and ER/T? Is it just FFP or are there other features that make the ER/T better.

Thanks for the replies Greyfox and Valar. I should have the barrel this weekend. I hope I have enough time to swap it out and go shoot before having to head off out of state for another hitch.
