I'd like to offer congrats on your accomplishments also. You showed lots of discipline sticking it out to achieve your goal. I'll only offer a couple of minor suggestions. The Leica scopes have fantastic glass...as good as it gets, but there are lots of factors that make up a good hunting scope. The Leica reticles can be too thin, so watch out for that. The biggest problem with them, IMO, is if you are getting the ballistic turrets on that Leica, they twist way, way, way too easily. They can easily be inadvertently moved.
I wouldn't buy anything before I laid eyes on the upcoming Meopta R2 personally. Good luck with it.
