[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2734369, member: 115658"] I would suggest a face to face with some shooter that has demonstrated abilities and fundamental knowledge of optics and can explain common optical terms such as refraction, reflection, chromatic & spherical aberration, MOA (minute of angle), MILRAD (milliradian), reticle, (etched or wire) fully coated, erector tube, 1st or 2nd focal plane, internal workings such as springs. All this stuff might sound complicated but is basic. A basic knowledge of how things work combined with actual demonstrations and hands on use (like look thru it) will enable selection of the correct scope for your situation. Another consideration would be how the scope would be mounted (like rings & bases) on your rifle. Finally, before buying, give the manufacturer of the scope a call and verify what kind of customer service & warranty that you might expect. Look at their web site to verify what specifications that would work for your situation (like could you mount the scope on your rifle). Should they be too busy to consider your inquiry consider another brand. [/QUOTE]
