i appreciate the feedback guys. the scope i am currently using is a swift 4-12x50....so far it has done me right. i've always lived by the phrase, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it.". however, my dad recently purchased a leupold 6-20x50 (or 6-24x50, one of the two i can't remember which) for his .25-06 and he does not like it...says it's too much scope for his rifle. he offered to sell it to me for $300.00, he paid almost $1,000.00 for it.

that's why i asked the above question. i know that's a big scope but it will be going on my weatherby .300 mag. should i buy it from him or leave my set up alone since i have had no problems?
