IMO, large objective NO, good glass / coatings YES. It depends on what you want to spend, shooting ranges and conditions, ER, EP and FOV desires, etc. I'd be checking out the Sightron SII Big Sky line, Vortex Vipers, Zeiss Conquests, Meopta Meopro and upper Burris units. There are some fantastic sales now preceding new offerings for next year. Go to the SWFA website and study up.
