[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 1544181, member: 107258"] At that price point you should at least go to a dealer and put some fingerprints on Leupold VX-5 HD and VX-6 HD scopes. One more thing - go in the evening so you can step outside and see how they perform as the light is fading. More than one target-grade scope has been disappointing when the light starts to fade, and (as someone else pointed out earlier) only you can determine how well your eye adapts to any one system as the environmental circumstances change. Also, any good dealer with these Leupolds onhand probably has one or more of the other brands that have been mentioned in this string...hard to beat the truth you find in a side-by-side comparison at dusk. Just one more comment - don’t overlook some of the less expensive scopes like Nikon’s Monarch 3 and Monarch 5 lines. From experience they hold up to serious recoil & rough handling, and the illumination/low light clarity are pretty tough to beat. Think of it like this - if you only spend $7-800 on the scope you now have a down payment left to spend on a trip to go out and ACTUALLY USE that 300 Weatherby! [/QUOTE]
