[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 2914463, member: 39651"] Personally, I'd stick with the Leupold. Just because it's not shiny new doesnt mean a shiny new one will be better. I hunted with an older gent in the 80s who had a 60s vintage Weaver on his rifle. One year, he put 2 shots into the heart at a running Whitetail. The next year, at his Son-in-Laws behest he replaced that scope and promptly wounded a deer standing 50 yards in front of him. He had shot the rifle a bit to get used to the scope but somewhere along the line it lost zero and was way low. I don't think I've ever seen a more dejected hunter. [/QUOTE]
