[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 891917, member: 9551"] I have been playing the value game myself. I have multiple long range hunting rifles and have tried to put glass on all of them. twenty power is not enough for me after having 32X and 40X. I would urge you to look at the "used" market. The Millet 6-24X with either 30mm or 35mm tube is recoil stable and has a low return rate in the industry. I think the internal tube (that controls the light transmission) is the same on both, you just get more adjustment range with the 35MM tube. I have a Bariska 10-32X42 one inch on a Browning B-78 that does not have a ring option. I have tried Conetrol, Burris and Leupold and only the issue (old Refield Jr) rings work on the factory drilled holes. The $125 Bariska was suggested by a fellow club member and it has been reliable with 6mm Remington loaded to 3400 fps with 90 gr Accubonds. The resolution is quite competitive with other one inch tubes. I have a Nikon 8-32X Monarch but I find the BCD recticle too coarse for the power. I have asked about an aftermarket recticle but have not had anyone say they would like the job of installing one. I have a couple of Counter Sniper 10-40X 35 mm tube scopes. One is on a .204 Ruger with a 7 pound barrel. The reticle is conducive to varmint shooting. It has turret locks but it seems that if you adjust one direction you mess up the other direction. If you strike zero and lock it you will like it. These scopes sell for $420-460. 35 mm tubes provide a lot of light. [/QUOTE]
