Leupold 8.5-25x40 Side Focus

Post by Hoot »

I am looking for a Leupold 8.5-25 x 40mm Side Focus. I do not care what reticle it has in it but it must be a side focus and it must be a 40mm objective. Contact me if you have one to part with.


Happy Shooting!

That is correct. We just went all through this recently in another post here. That scope was never available with side focus, only AO (Adjustable Objective). That's according to the factory.......

Do you not remember your post recently that we all discussed this in detail? This scope is NOT available and never was:

I don't think hydehunter1 was active in that particular discussion in the Swap Meet section.

hydehunter1, Skipper is correct, and I offer my apology. I mistakenly thought it was the OP asking the same question again......did not read the origin properly.

You are 100% correct about this scope only being offered in 50mm objective. Sorry for the mispost!
