I think I' m going to try one. The 3-12x50 is only $319 and weighs only 17 oz. Sounds like a great scope for the money plus I know Cabela' s has very good customer service if I don' t like it. I would love to get a Leopold instead but I want a 10+ power without AO, 50mm Obj. and anything close to that from Leopold is over $700! I can pay half of that but that' s too much. I guess I' m half-way cheap!
