I gotta disagree with Bigbulls and Hometheatreman here...
So, what exactly are you disagree with me on?
The fact that in your text paragraph you said the same thing that we did regarding a high end Leupold vs. a prostaff????
I'm not a huge Leupold fan or anything. I think they are over priced scopes but to say that a prostaff rivals top dollar Leupold's is just absurd.
I'm not at all a Leupold fan as you can get much better scopes imo for cheaper. However, the Prostaff doesn't even come close to rivaling Leupolds top dollar scopes.
As far as the overall quality goes, of course, the pro-staff is, at best, an entry level scope and of course, the leupold offers MUCH finer optics, finer quality, better light transmission, better clarity, etc etc than the bargain bin prostaffs, but in my personal experience, neither are very user friendly when it comes to parallax or tracking.
