[QUOTE="Glenn Tullius, post: 1849081, member: 110556"] I researched this with a very open mind, but full disclosure, $1500 was a max budget. The $2000 to $3500 or higher Swarovski, Zeiss and Kahles were not considered. I was absolutely blown away by the Leupold [B]VX6-HD[/B]. I just bought a 6.5 CM 1-1/2 years ago for a mule deer hunt. Last fall I turned the dial to 300 yards and blew his heart in half with a 130 grain Scirocco. I just bought a 6.5 PRC for longer range big game and just put it on. With the Leuie you get a choice of reticles, Zero lock turrets, with Custom Dial System for your preferred handloads. Side focus, a lighted dot with auto level feature. It is a 30mm tube, 50 mm objective with 75 minutes of elevation, and a perfect 3x18 power range for ALL distances. Weight was also given strong consideration, and most all Leupolds are, in some cases, significantly lighter in weight than the more expensive options. I put this 20 ounce scope on a 6.3 lb Christiansen Arms Ridgeline with one piece light, strong and very affordable Talley rings. The rifle weighs exactly [B]8 lbs total[/B]. Just what I wanted. I compared the Leuie side by side to a $1500 Swarovski and a $1250 Zeiss and it was noticeably better optically for my eyes. The Leupold is about $1600 retail with a full Lifetime guarantee. I bought a one owner off Ebay for $1250, used one season. I own Swarovski and Zeiss products, and their customer service, repairs, and guarantees are NOT as good as Leupolds. Sighttron , Nightforce, or Vortex, Nikon (on the low end option) etc, are very good products, but if [B]features, versatility, weight[/B], and [B]superb optically, with a aproximate $1500 price point for hunting[/B] are your requirements, just check it out. It will sell itself. Just my 2cents. Good luck, hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
