[QUOTE="randycw, post: 2579872, member: 73174"] I did the "buy once, cry once" several years back and purchased a Premier Reticles scope (a Light Tactical model) that was at the extreme end of my budget. It was a fantastic scope, but last hunting season my sling gave way when I jumped across some rocks and the rifle and scope took a nasty tumble. The scope is not tracking any longer and won't hold zero consistently (holds for some 5-20 shots then shifts for a few then is back to zero). Since the company went out of business, I am out of luck for repairs -- turns out I'll be crying more than once. For a interim fix I have put a Meopta Optika6 on the rifle. The rifle's accuracy and consistency were not affected by the fall. The optic is a significant step back from the PR. So I am looking for a replacement option. Criteria: Similar optical performance to the PR MIL FFP At least 3-15x Budget max is $2,700 Use: Hunting in WY -- antelope and deer to 1,500, elk to 900 yrds. Targets to 2,000 yrds. (admittedly the 15x PR at 1,500+ yards was a bit small, but was still manageable) [/QUOTE]
