[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2383611, member: 120719"] IME, you are going to be really hard pressed to find a scope worth a **** and precise enough to reliably dial out to 1200 for $500 or so other than the SWFA. I've had at least a few of the other scopes mentioned in this thread, and they are not in the same league for ruggedness and reliable dialing as the SWFA products. Some work ok for a time or a couple hundred shots, but strap them to a magnum and fire a few hundred, and a lot of scopes go wonky. Sometimes they develop wandering zero or your rig has "flyers" here and there and a lot of shooters don't even realize that their scope is actually not working as it should. Be careful about buying a more value oriented scope based on view or "glass quality". Scopes are for getting bullets to land where they're supposed to, not glassing; yet in every scope thread out there someone has to comment about how a certain scope is better than another because of the view.
