im lookin for a scope for my new rifle and was wondering what you guys think about different brands and what you use?
Zeiss, Kahles, Leica, Swarovski, Schmidt & Bender, Meopta, and a couple of other German/European scopes are probably the best. For the money, Leupolds are tough and reliable, the best U.S.make if all factors are considered. Nikon and Burris are good too. I have heard wonderful things about Night Force scopes, but never used one.
Most of mine are Leupolds, but I also use a few of the old steel tube Weavers (made in El Paso TX) and several old Lyman All-American Perma-Center scopes too. These may be old, but they are reliable and work as good as they did 30 years ago............
