[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1318177, member: 12995"] I have more Vortex scopes than anything else. I also currently have/had Vortex, Kahles, Leupold, Zeiss, Simmons, Nikon, Bushnell, Tasco, Bausch & Lomb (before they were Bushnell), and the list goes on... For the money, the old Zeiss Conquest and Vortex Viper HS/HS-T scopes are nearly impossible to beat. Now, for your main hunting rifle, where it only goes in the woods, and when hunting you grab it 9/10 times, then it's worth it to spend a ton of money on 1 scope. For example, my main deer rifle has a Kahles Helia KX 3.5-10x50 4D-Dot on it. This is not a cheap scope, but it's also not going to be shot more than around 500 yards, since most deer hunting around here won't ever be beyond that, unless you intentionally plan on shooting that far. For my target and LR hunting rifles, I have matching setups using Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 MRAD scopes, EGW HD 20MOA bases, and Seekins Precision 30mm Low rings. The more familiar everything is, the more proficient you will be with your guns, and swapping between them. The reason I have never opted to spend $2,000+ on a target scope, is because #1) I'm far from well-off in the ol' money department...And #2) I have too many guns to scope, and if I buy something that nice, I might go beyond broke trying to scope them all with matching NF scopes, and that would cost a small-fortune that I don't have. If I won the lottery, you can bet your last dollar I'll have the nicest rigs money can buy...But until that day, I'll use what I can afford, and what works just fine for the much lower price of $640 each, versus $2,500+ each. :cool: [/QUOTE]
