[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2723163, member: 109378"] My "off the shelf" rifles that are suitable for long range use all wear Viper Vortex 4-16 X 44 HS-T scopes. All my custom rifles wear the Leopold VH6HD 3-18 X 50. All of them shoot great but I really like the zero stop of the Leo and the light gathering from the 50mm objective and love the red dot for low light conditions. I prefer the profile of the 44mm objective but during the "plague of the worlds" I could only find the Leo in 50mm. So, OCD guy that I am, I wanted all my custom rigs to match, so they all have 50mm eyeballs--I know, pretty "Sheldon Copper". I have a couple of Zeiss glass, a Kahles, a Swaro, but honestly, I can't tell the "quality of glass" difference between any of them as they are all great, and truth be told the cost vs capability of the Vortex make them a great bang for your buck scope too, especially if you wanted reliability and capability, wanted to play LR but had a limited wallet. So, on the higher end I recommend the Leopold. I also like their simplified crosshair display with fire dot and MOA adjustment. Can't go wrong there and it is a serious LR optic. [/QUOTE]
