Thanks for the opinions guys! I went up to the shop last night and looked through both scopes right at dusk, and for a half hour afterwards.

Honestly....they both looked exactly the same to me.....which was EXCELLENT. I really did not see a "better" or "brighter" image through the Zeiss. They were both great....so I ended upgoing withthe old reliableLeupold and saving the extra 200 bucks.......which I ended up spending on 4 boxes of ammo anyways!!

Thanks again for the ideas! Cant wait to get the barrel back from Magna-Port so I can finally blow some rounds through it!!
