RE: leupold or??? Zeiss Kahles?
Personally, I am not a big fan of the Leupold porducts anymore. Ihave a MK 4 4.5 x14 and am really dissappointed by it. If you have a Bass Pro near you, it is usually a great place to SHOP for a scope. not necessarily buy there. The one in Nashville has mostof their scopes on mock stocks so you can pick it up and look though it like you would at home. What i really like is the fact that they have lots of mouts around the stor of lots of different game in lots of different terrain type mounts. Use that stock and scope to look around at the game to really see how it looks with the scope you are shopping for.
