| Choices, choices, choices. Hunting is expensive, and also precious. If you look at the $49.oo “Trashco”. That’s what you get – trash. So it proves you get what you pay for. Don’t let anyone convince you that less expensive is just as good. (in scopes) Less expensive may work well for the level of hunting you demand from a scope. The great quality of Leupold and the superior quality of Swarovski / Kahles cannot be beat. Your choice is your choice. If you demand less. Pay less. If you want no compromise, buy the best. You now know my choices. :D |

I learned something new this weekend... I was at a gunshop and they had a really cool device - a rifle stockd with plastic clip scope rings. At the end of the stock was a long black tube with a slide picture of a deer at the end. You can snap any scope you want onto the stock and get a great "low light" view.
Low light is where you'll see the difference in good glass and not good glass. I spent 30 minutes looking at every scope they had, on various magnifications.
Here were the findings:
#1 Swaro
#2 GrandSlam
#3 Bushnell 3200 and 4200 (Couldn't really SEE a difference)
#4 Burris Fullfield II
#5 Leupold VX II
#7 Tasco and Simmons. BIG DROP IN QUALITY!
I would've liked to see a Nikon but they didn't have any.

| My Leupold is probably not the best scope in clarity but that is not the only measure of scope quality and not the reason I buy leupolds. Leupold scopes are build to last and last and last. Until I see another scope that can stand the test I will not be switching. |

| I think Leupold makes a great scope and you definitely can't go wrong putting their product on your rifle. I am currently using a Bushnell 3200 on one of my rifles and really like the clarity. I decided to try Bushnell when a friend who was having trouble with a 15 year old scope sent it back to Bushnell for repairs and got great service. They were unable to fix the problem with the scope so they sent him a new one. The kicker being that it was an upgrade from the model he had which was no longer made by the company. So with service like that how can you go wrong? |

| I'll tell you what guys... I just bought a NIKON Prostaff 3x9x40. It only cost me $149.99 (actually, my wife bought it for me for an anniversary gift!). It is a great scope for the $$. I prefer the Leupold, but I like the price for that NIKON. It is very clear & crisp. It filters a ton of light too... |

Leupold is always my first choice. After that, whatever I can find that looks good, has a decent reputation, and doesn't cost me any more than what a Leupold would.
My philosophy is this, I found something that works really good for me. If it works, don't try and fix it. |

It was about a grand. Next to Zeiss and Swaro, it looked nicer, and there's no comparison to my Vari-X IIIs. I also like that the reticle is on a different focal plane so it grows and shrinks when you change powers. |
