[QUOTE="guns_and_labs, post: 215514, member: 3534"] I seem to be on a quixotic quest for the "right" scope; I can feel your angst. I tried Leupolds, and the good ones are VERY good. But I really don't like the big turrets you get with a mildot, whether you like it or not, and I don't particularly like the mildots to only be calibrated at the high end. The Bushnell 4200's are really quite nice, but really long and awkward. But I haven't killed one yet. Not much adjustment range, though, if you're into that. The Meopta's and Nikon Monarch X's are really nice, and for a long time I thought the Monarch X was the scope to live the rest of my life and rifles with. Then I tried Schmidt and Bender. Wow. I imagine the first Nightforce or USO you buy is the same feeling, but they aren't FFP -- which I now find indispensible. Incredibly crisp, very precise adjustments (I did the box test and thought I'd failed... it put the fifth bullet through the first hole), and just feels "right". Downsides: hefty weight and price tag. Bottom line: my vote would be for S&B. I now get the whole "you get what you pay for" thing. [/QUOTE]
