And what more cani say about the Leupold, i mean its a Leupold one of the best scopes on the market for under 200.00
I personally would place (in no particular order) these scope before the entry level leupold rifleman in the $200 range!
Nikon Buckmaster
Bushnell Elite 3200
Burris FF II
Simmons Aetec
