[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 887589, member: 39764"] I agree, in part. Leupold is overpriced across the board. I have a few older ones that are tits. I think Leupold is following Trigicon's lead in pricing so I'd be buying something else, just not a Sooper Sniper. Certainly not a Trigicon, absurdly priced for a run of the mill optic. Tactical is a bad term anyway. Should be 'Tacticool'. Any scope with high turrets, side parallelax, a forgiving eye box and resettable zero will do and glass is in the eye of the user, no one else. My take on buying any scope is go to one of the large retail houses like Cabelas or Gander Mountain ands look through many scopes. Check the reticle's, check the eye box, check the weight, check the clarity and then make an educated choice, not a choice based on someone else's opinion. Because other's opinions mean nothing. It's what you are comfortable with. Case in point. I've lusted for a pair of Kennetrecs for years but I won't buy a pair of hunting boots (or anything else for that matter) without trying them on or in the case of an optic or bino's or firearm, without having one in my hands to inspect. Thats why I have 2 pair of Meindl's. I can go try them on and makes sure they fit. Same applies to optics or anythiung else for that matter. So 'take a test drive' and then order online. [/QUOTE]
