[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 805577, member: 22069"] I used to consider the Leupold VX III as the beginning of scopes for serious use. The Nikon scopes have taken that role for me now. I think they are a better value for the money. I feel that you don't get as much scope for the money with a Leupold as you used to. I am not saying that the Nikons are the be-all end-all. I do think that they are an excellent "bang for the buck" value. I REALLY like my Zeiss Conquests, but at more than twice the price they really don't offer a discernible advantage over the Nikons. They have GREAT glass and they are sweet to use, but that's it. I have shot my Nikon, Zeiss, and SWFA scopes out to 600 yards so far. The Nikon does just as well as the other two. It is less than half the price of my Zeiss scopes. It was about the same price as my SWFA, but I got variable power and more magnification out of the deal. With a 20 MOA base, it should be able to take my Swede to 1000 yards and change. The SWFA is a very good scope as well, but the fixed power kind of limits its utility. A variable from them is double the cost, but would enable me to play the ELR game. That will probably be my new baseline when I outgrow the Nikons. [/QUOTE]
