What you are going to use it for would help. My experience with them is the glass is great and a lot of people seem to think they are what all other scopes are measured by. I have used the 5-25, 4-16, and 3-12 models none of which were personally owned. We shot to 300 yards and glasses out to 850 or so. IMO the glass is good, but not $3000 good comparing to Steiner, Bushnell, and vortex. But I'm cheap and have spent the last 20 years in a dutch community where they invented copper wire while fighting over a penny so I may be slightly biased when I see the price tag. As for ruggedness and features I honestly can't comment as I haven't used them enough.
