Here's another thought for ya! For $319.00 @ natchez shooters supply.com you can have a weaver grand slam in 3.5x10x50! I have been a leupold guy only all my life,,and thanks to a friend that does an ungodly amount of shooting asked me to try one of these scopes out and boy,,,am i ever glad i did,,what a scope for the money,,and as a matter of fact,,,i had both guns this year in a field where i could shoot 600yds,,a doe stepped out at 4:50pm and looking her over with both the grand slam and a leupold 4.5x14x50 long range tactical,,,i could see no difference in clarity between the 2 scopes,,,both crystal clear,,JMO
