Uncle C.....I have read allot of controversy over the Aetec because I had posted the same question a while back between the Aetec and the Bushnell 3200. I had like the 44mm objective lens and the 5” eye relief from the Aetec so I bought it. Some fellow h unters say it’s garbage but I guess I’ll find out for my self. Now I do have a new Leupold also and I’m very impressed with this scope...Both scopes are on rifles to be used for deer hunting this fall so like I said I’ll find out about both scopes for myself. Good luck in your purchase.–
