Clearidge vs Leupold

[Guest]

I am in need of a low powered scope for a Diana 54. I am wondering if anybody has tried both brands for a honest review?

Thanks all for being here,

Mitch

The Clearidge is a nice budget old school style Japanese scope equal to roughly the old Bushnell Scope Chief and Elite 3200s. The Leupold EFR series are better scopes optically and light weight and Custom Reticles available through Leupold Custom Shop once they are back in full swing. 

I have had an old Leupold 3-9x EFR on a RWS 48/52 side lever for years and years with zero issues whatsoever and the new owner is still shooting it all the time.

I jave had a lot of broken scopes on RWS side levers and the USA Leupold and Japan Weaver V16 series are the only 2 that never gave problems for me.

Thank you Odoyle,

When I am financially able I will be going to buy Leupold EFR ‘s.

$12 Leapers UTG RWS Compensating specific droop base Picatinny adapter and rings on one and another with expensive BKL 1 piece drooper mount.

The Leupold VX Freedom 3-9 EFR is about $350-400. It's a really great scope for the money.
