RE: Scope question
I am rather late in the "advice" line, but here is another $.02. I have hunted white tail deer since I was a teenager in the early 1960's. Do not make the same mistake that I did and "buy up" to a good scope. Trust me, I spent enough $$$ and over 20 years of frustration getting here. I have several scopes right now ... from a $50 BSA "Cat Eye" to $300 Burris Fullfield to $500 Leupold Vari-X III's to $2000 +/- top of the line Swarovski and Carl Zeiss scopes ... and too many in between to list here. I say this only to let you know I do have some experience with a broad spectrum of scopes. Be that as it may, regardless of what you get, do yourself a favor and buy the best quality that you can afford. You'll be glad you did.
You want a suggestion - Zeiss Conquest.
