[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 951036, member: 71923"] you pay a lot for the Leopold name. I used to work for a retailers and they have an additional 10% margin in them compared to other optics. if you are looking for a less expensive scope, Burris is probably the best for the money, but then you already have good scopes. 500 yards is not a problem for any reputable scope. when you pay more, by and large, you get better guts and better glass. the guts give you better return to zero and repeatability. Glass is glass. you have a Zeiss so you can see what good glass is and when it matters at dusk and dawn. I have shot deer at 500 yards with a Bushnell 3200 atop a factory Winchester model 70 300WM. so if 500 yards is your range, don't spend any more money all 3 rigs are capable of this yardage and have plenty of power for a clean kill.
