RE: Your take on scopes
I always get a huge kick out of guys on forums with numerous rifles, whineing they can't afford decent scopes for them. (thatWASN'T aimed at the origional poster) I guess it never occured to them to sellthree of those rifles, to put "decent" glass on the other three...
Over the years, the most reliable scopes i've owned have been Leupolds, and they have been the work horse scopes for my hunting rifles. They have been so reliable, i quit taking a spare scope on extended hunts in the bush.
After having said that, i just bought a Zeiss to put on my "most used" hunting rifle, to a get better low light level sight picture. (replaceing an old Bausch & Lomb)
