[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 2685872, member: 56740"] I am just gonna gently lay this right here........ EVERYONE'S eyes are different. And while many of us might perceive an "XYZ" brand/model scope as "great".....other will declare that it sucks. Optics are more individual than gunstocks. They are more divisive and marketed harder than ammo. Some people believe in a brand just because they have an old one - so the new one must be good. All folly. Here is the harsh truth: YOU have to pick your scope for YOU. My needs are different than yours. We may hunt together and use each other's rifles...but that sight picture including the quality of glass, field of view, eye relief, eye box, the turret design and feel of the clicks, durability, holding zero, and HOW and WHERE and WHEN ( time of day) are ALL components in how each of us balance the scales in order to determine whether a scope is good or not. Picking a scope for another person is like picking out underwear for your hunting buddy. Maybe not as weird.....but way too personal to make for a satisfying experience.....(O.K. - maybe weird too....) Get the guy that is going to shoot the rifle involved in his scope pick. [/QUOTE]
