[QUOTE="brogers, post: 13505, member: 53"] I see a very interesting topic and the approach with different scopes is unusual but again interesting. Variable scopes vary much in quality. They don't usually vary as much as mounts do when changing them, but I've no experience with the mount mentioned. I will check that one out. IF one is to seek to find a good variable scope please consider what I'm about to propose. Take a boresighter. (the kind with a screen as opposed to the lazer jobs and be sure it is rigid enough to stay put.) Observe the cross hairs on the screen as you change power settings. Then if the scope is so equiped observe each and every one of the turrent clicks. It will be immediately obvious if there is a problem caused by the variance. This does nothing about the optical superiority of some of the fixed power scopes and that is a small but observable factor. By using this method you can spot anything that will cause you trouble and don't be surprised if you find your favorite scope has major trouble in the turrets and power changes. I've seen "tactical" Leupolds that didn't even move the turrets for 4 or five clicks indicating an obvious problem. They are warrantied against such defects but convincing them isn't always easy. Cite the method you use when returning them. You might use the same method to check those scope from mounting to mounting and yes you can see movement of 1/8 moa easily.
