[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2975709, member: 87887"] I have the Leopold 4.5-14x40. It's a good scope for the money and my use for it. The turrets are "mushy", not very tactile at room temperature and worse when cold ( almost have to use the lines as you can't really feel them around 0 degrees F. The glass is acceptable but not amazing. In my experience, if you consider the main name brands, for any given price point, the values are equal, just not the same. What I mean is that for any given price you are picking features. If you want great turrets, glass quality may suffer. Great glass may carry a weight penalty. Some scopes will do a better job of balancing features than others. Once you double or triple your budget, those features are all going to be top notch and it takes a critical eye to discern the differences between scopes of equal value. Perhaps you would get better responses in the Optics section of the forum. Enjoy the process/addiction. Lol [/QUOTE]
