Narrowed the choice down to the Pentax PCF 20x-60 and Steiner 20x80 Rallye. Anybody use these before? Zod - Thanks for the link...I spent a lot of time there. danno

Among the scopes riding my varmint rifles are: Weaver V16 and V24, and Bushnell 4200 4-16x. I don't have a 4200 6-24x yet, but I know some experienced shooters who do and have found the same things. And based on my usage, I would go with the 4200 6-24x on a custom rig, and the V24 or V16 on a...

Jim, Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for a few years and have really enjoyed the info shared on this board -- especially when the "elders" speak. I hope to cry only once with this purchase and will keep on researching...planning to give the Hart tech support folks a call next week...

This is for spotting those hidden groundhogs and watching the show beyond 500 yards. Here are models I'm considering and I'd appreciate the advice of the board on them, as well as other ideas. Power of about 20x is what I'd like, and clarity is just as important to me. Good glass comes with...
