Thanks for the input! I did buy a Sightron II in a 3X9X44 today. With an over the counter lifetime replacement guarantee! How do you top that? It don't matter what state, no receipt needed...just say it's broke and you get handed a new one. (It just better not ever need replaced!) I was definitely impressed with their clarity too. But I just couldn't drop it on a Savage. After shopping around and seeing the Ruger's $40 rebate and good quality rings that go along with the rifle it just seemed like a better idea to spen an extra $15 on the Ruger. I went with a Ruger M77 S/S in a .308 She looks and feels sweet. Can't wait to get to the range on shoot it in.
