[QUOTE="JDJHNTR, post: 19478, member: 2599"] Thanks guys for the input! The rifle for which this scope is intended will be my "go to" gun for day to day hunting. I totally agree that more $$$ does not always mean more quality. I have 2 (dont laugh) Simmons 44 mags on a couple of rifles, one of them a T/C Encore .50 cal. muzzleloader with around 200 rounds through it without ever needing re-zeroing. The other on a Ruger 30-06 with around 1000 rnds down range and zero never changed unless I changed it. Very impresive glass for the money! Always bright and clear without ever foging or hazing yet (knock on wood). Then on the other hand, I have bought 2 used Simmons WTC scopes and neither was worth the price of shipping. I also have a Tasco world class plus 6-24 on my yote calling Ruger that is on par with my "WAY MORE EXPENSIVE" Leupold tactical on my .308 700PSS. Well..........I've rambled enough my experiences with other brands. The reason for me wanting another Leupold is I believe them to be one of the more reliable and all out ruged scopes on the market. As for the reason for the power range I chose, as I said this would be my "go to" rifle for general day to day hunting. I may be sitting in a treestand in woods or sitting in a tripod in south Texas. I also have just aquired a piece of property in the delta region which will offer me shots out to further than I care to shoot. Just believe this to be the better all around power for my type of hunting. I have a long range rifle biult for the longer stuff and shoot alot of pistols for the closer stuff.
