    Spotting scope question, need unbiased opinion

    I am the OP, my question was answered a long time ago... This thread has gone off topic of my original ask. If you want to debate company customer service please open a new thread. Thanks.

    Leupold VX-5HD Firedot Reticle 3-15x44

    Lets try $850 shipped... I sent this scope to Leupold upon purchase to have them check it out. I purchased this scope from the bargain cave at Cabelas and the red dot was not blinking to let me know when it was on the highest brightness with the red dot. Scope was fixed and sent back. I have...

    Spotting scope question, need unbiased opinion

    Well, I talked to my old man and it made the decision easy. He said I could borrow it for a 2 week hunt I have planned here shortly. He said if I liked it, then I could buy it. Sounds like a win/win.

    Budget scope

    If your set on vortex, I would suggest the strike eagle 4-24 over the new diamondback tactical. They are close to the same price. Neither is great glass, but the strike eagle glass is much better than the diamondback. The reticle is etched in the strike eagle from my understanding.

    $850 for the swaro, I can get a Razor 20-60x85mm for $850 as well. He was basically matching the price.

    Sell or Keep?

    This is my experience. Some rifles wouldn't shoot to my expectations.... I now only keep rifles that shoot .5 MOA or better. Never had a regret selling any that shot worse than that. I've sold a few that shot real well and regret it. I've learned my lesson. Never know when you need a spare...

    Leupold VX6HD or Zeiss V6

    I took a video so I could see where the crosshair was before and after while adjusting... The crosshair didn't change overall but it was like it was magnifying the image. Much more noticable than any other optic I have used. Hard to explain. Much different than my past vortex or current...
