[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 659171, member: 48420"] [b]Re: scopes[/b] Good day to all. I need some advice on scopes. I am currently having a Lazzeroni Warbird built and I need to choose a scope for it. After paying for this gun and a CZ 550 I just bought, my toy buying account is running a little low, so I really need to stay under $1000 on the scope as much as I would love to put a Swarovski or Schmidt and Bender (which Mr. Lazzeroni recommends) on it, but I have to stay in the real (and married) world. I used to be high on Leupold, and I have six of their variables, but I have lost some of my enthusiasm for them because the variables get very dim when you dial them up to greater magnification. I have three Meoptas, and they are very bright and very solid, but they have a design flaw in their mildots. The dots are so large that at 200 yards, a dot completely covers a deer. I have two of the Bushnell 6500 series, and I like them very much, but they are both on small caliber riflles and I do not know if they will hold up under the recoil of the Warbird. Does anyone know anything about the Vortex scopes? I have seen them at sportsman shows, and they appear quite impressive. They are very bright, even at the high power variables; they are clean looking and seem to be solidly built. The adjustment knobs click solidly into place when you turn them.
