[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 2763843, member: 113501"] I have found that every scope I've bought that was assembled at Light Optic Works in Japan has been very good for the price. That's a Weaver Classic Extreme, a Nitrex (rebadged Weaver Super Slam), a Tract Toric 4-20x50, Buschnell LRTSi and LRHSi. It helped that I got all of them on sale but they are all well built with good glass for the price I paid. They probably won't get you an extra 15 minutes of hunting at dawn and dusk but I think I paid $240 for my Nitrex years ago and it compares very well against budget scopes I've seen. If you can find the modern version of a deal like that you'll get an entirely serviceable scope just stepping slightly up from "budget" scopes. I hope the SWFA 2.5-10x32 Ultralight scopes I ordered are up to that standard. I hear good things but haven't had my hands on one yet. I know they will be light which is good for an MSR but if the glass sucks it will be a pretty big letdown. [/QUOTE]
