[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 244544, member: 9736"] I was doing some research for a friend that wanted a high quality scope for a high country deer hunt and later for our antelope hunts. The #1 scope rated by Cornell University was the Kowa 884. We looked through a few different units and he purchased one from Scott at Liberty Optics on this board. Both choices were excellent. Scott made sure he had the scope by the time he was leaving on the trip. The scope was amazing. The clarity was incredible. We were watching the flies on a Llamas head at 260 yards and you could tell what kind of fly it was. We tried the fly experiment with a Leupold scope and you could see something but not really tell the details. He saw a buck at a mile across a canyon using the scope and could tell it was a nice 4x4. He didn't get the buck but the scope worked perfectly. Do a lot of research and look through a bunch of different brands and models and see what works best for you. The Kowa is heavy compared to a Leupold or other small scope. [/QUOTE]
