[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 232942, member: 12443"] i certainly dont intend to start a ****ing contest over scopes. i hope my comments arent taken in that context. i am familiar with all the scopes mentioned, except the sightron and the 3200. ive used all of them also. i wouldnt disagree with any of the comments. i guess my question is, does anybody except me, think $1000 is still alot of money for many of us to spend for a scope? especially when it gets such limited use by most of us? hell many of the scopes cost more than the guns they sit on. isnt anybody restricted by what they can or at least should spend on this stuff? if there are, whats their alternative? i can say what works for me, and others i know also. i have 4 rifles i use for long range hunting. all have custom barrels and chambers. one is a heavy bench type on a custom action. 3 of the scopes are older 40mm leupolds ive owned since new. all are at least 20 years old. the other is an old bausch & lomb 6x24 with a kuharsky micrometer. they all still work flawlessly. ive never missed a shot because of the age of my scope, or the fact that it isnt up to nightforce standards. all of my scopes combined, wouldnt be worth the cost of 1 nightforce. mind you, im not reccomending you not buy a nightforce. or any other for that matter. but for any out there concerned by what you spend on this stuff, take heart. the older stuff still works just fine. and theres tons of it for sale on ebay. if it dosent have target knobs, not to worry, they can be added. sure the new scopes have advantages over the older ones. but conditions have to be pretty bad before your shut down because of the scope. you'l never be stuck with a good used leupold. sort of like buying a good low milage used car.
