[QUOTE="top predator, post: 1123190, member: 13514"] for $200-$400 to spend on a "just for now" scope, I'd go with a burris or vortex. both offer alot for the investment depending on what model you choose. both offer a transferable warranty - so then what you end up with is a quality scope that retains value for resale if need be, or adds a quality optic value to the platform you are going to swap it to. nothing wrong with leupold, though to get the same creature comforts as the burris or vortex, you are looking at 500-600 to start. though not a transferable warranty, you may want to check out weaver super slams, they are on sale at natchez. obviously you are building, or attempting to build, quality rigs with both platforms, getting quality glass with a good rep, known dependability, clarity, repeatable adjustments and warranty up front that actually fits into your "just for now pass down" scope budget makes sense. IMO the sightmark is in the barska type catagory, millet TRS a step above that, with the burris and vortex above that. for a little more investmestment, you can be in the next level of optic. i wouldn't worry much of the magnification, as much as the quality of your view. it could be 100x, but if it's blurry, cloudy, or greyed out, i'd go with something with 16x that is clearer and dependable backed by a great warranty and a reputation of great customer support, just in case, and holds it's value.
