I had really wanted to check one out against a Zeiss Conquest, Nikon Monarch, VXIII, and a Bushnell Elite 4200. However, my local store didn't have them, so I tried the FFII: it wasn't in the same league (butit did seem to be adamned fine scope for the $$$).

If you can find one to test against other scopes in which you're interested,go ahead & throw it into the lineup. I don't think the quality or durability would take a back seat to any in its price range. Let your eyes be the judge.
