[QUOTE="green 788, post: 653117, member: 3781"] pondered a similar decision a while back when we were scoping my friend's .338LM... we went with a Leupold Mk4 8.5 to 25 ERT, with the tactical milling reticle. There were other options, of course... some with better glass (like the euro scopes)... others with a zero stop option (like Nightforce NXS)... But the final decision for Leupold was based on the world economic situation right now. I persuaded him to get the Leupold because of the iffy survivability of the smaller scope makers around the world, especially those based in the european zone. US Optics makes great stuff... but again, long term survivability of such a small company selling such high dollar scopes made me queezy... there would be few things worse than dropping 2500 or more on a scope only to find out that the company goes belly up a year or two down the road... no service for those, unless at a likely very high price. Not to be a wet blanket to any of you guys who have S&B's or USO's or whatever... but I think Leupold will be standing firm when all others fall, assuming a worsening world economy. My couple pennies... :) Dan [/QUOTE]
