[QUOTE="green 788, post: 659350, member: 3781"] folks tend to go for the "esoteric" models, all for various reasons... The euro scopes have great glass (definitely better than Leupold or Nightforce), but internals are weaker in most instances, and service can be harder to obtain. There are some great scopes out there being made by small companies, and God bless them for making what they do, and hanging in there so far... "so far," being the operative phrase. We are living in a world with an imploding economy, and it's getting worse--not better; don't be fooled. So it's wise to consider the staying power of an optics company before you plunk down a lot of cash for something that might not have a "daddy" in a few short years... Leupold has the most staying power of any optics maker out there right now. Are their scopes the best? No, not really. But their scopes are very good--more than good enough, and you'll be a lot more likely to find Leupold in business in a half dozen years than you will to find many of the smaller scope makers peddling 3000 dollar scopes. Not just my .02... but in in the inimitable words of Jack Webb... "just the facts." ;) now... here it comes.... :D [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/green788/Guy2520Pissing.jpg[/IMG] but someone's gotta say it... :) just like someone's gotta be wrong and tell me I'm full of it. :) but that's what draws us to internet forums, at least in part. :) Dan [/QUOTE]
