[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 2083178, member: 115704"] I have only heard good things said about Doug and the people at Camera Land. I am in the market for a new scope and I was wondering if the technical differences in the scope and the glass are so much superior as to make one scope a great deal at $600 and whether it would be a good investment to go ahead and pay $2,500 for a scope made by the same manufacturer. I know there are differences, but never having looked through a high-end scope and been able to really see these differences, I wondered if it would be worth the extra money, except for possible resale value, which means nothing to my old carcass. For an old dude on a fixed income, spending the extra money on technical advances I am unable to fully understand or see with my old eyes seems futile. I have several Leupold rifle scopes and a Burris handgun scope. I can tell the difference between the rifle scopes and the handgun scope, but not in the technical or quality of glass sort of way. I have always leaned toward Leupold scopes, and will probably buy a new Leupold scope for my new rifle. I am curious about the new (to me) illuminated dot scopes. I can see where the extra money goes and would be willing to spend the additional money on something that makes the scope better for me. I believe it was Doug that told me that if I could not see the improvement in the high range scopes that I should stay with the scopes I like best--or something along those lines. I have decided to take his advice. [/QUOTE]
