[QUOTE="tedscouton, post: 1713021, member: 36279"] +1 Where are your friends hunting? I regularly hunt high sierra's in CA, Southwest Colorado, mountains in PA and occasionally Texas and Kansas. Not one of these places need the weigh and bulk of a 30mm 4-16 scope unless you like carrying a extra pound of scope. IMHO stick to a 1" 3-9x40 or 3-10x42 scope. Personally I run Swarovski, Zeiss and Leupold scopes 3-9x40mm to 4-12x50mm but if I had to buy a budget scope it would be a VX3i that can be found on sale for well under $400 or a used Conquest for $300-$400. Today there are several Zeiss 3-9x40mm on ebay for under $400 BUT be sure to stay away from any ebay Zeiss that has a adjustable Object all the ones I have seen are Chinese knock offs. Keep your eyes opened, I just recently picked up a Swarovski 3-10x42 BRH scope for under $525, not bad for a scope with a life time warranty and new street price of $899... [/QUOTE]
