[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 322439, member: 4191"] I didn't realize the quick detach scope mounts were repeatable enough to count on for long range shooting. Very good tip if they are! Thanks J E for sharing. I agree on the toughness of the scopes. There is no scope that can be used as a cheater bar to extend the handle on a socket wrench without bending, no matter how devout the NF owners might be. NF is no cheater bar, nor is any other scope. The only thing those heavy scopes do is slow me down in the field and cause me to cuss the weight of my outfit when I'm backpacking. I think I'm going to try out one of the new VX-3 Leupys in order to reduce weight on my packing rifles. It sounds as if the glass in the new VX-3 is now improved to compete with the competition in that price range. Good for Leupy. But I own two Sightron SIII 6-24x50 LRMDs and for the money, [I]they have the best glass of any scope I've looked through yet[/I]. And I've compared them to IOR and Zeiss Conquest. [U]So for the time being, I'm a Sightron SIII man[/U]. The SII Big Sky Sightron [I]has higher quality glass [/I]than the SII. More along the lines of the SIII Sightrons. If you want better glass, go with the SII Big Sky or the SIII. So far it sounds like Sightron has treated you very well under their warranty program. They brag their warranty program, which is why I'm interested in seeing what they'll do when a horse kicks the living sh_t out of one of their scopes. :D [/QUOTE]
