RE: what is your opinion and why?
I would save and get the Leupold 4.5x14x50
Why:Leupold is by far the best scope on the market,dollar for dollar there is not a better scope.Not even the high dollar end ones with the fancy names such as S&B ,SaWORSEski,those types of scopes your just paying for the name.After hunting for 41 years of the 48 God has given me,nothing will ever go on any of my guns except a Leupold.Take this to heart.Should you have a problem with a Leupold you can send it back to them and they will repair or send you a new scope -EVEN IF YOUR NOT THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER...thats say alot about a company who has that much confidence in a product.I could say alot more ,but you get the point,save and get a good scope.
