IMO, there are MANY good scopes out there. I like Leupy's ok as long as they are VX3's or 6's. I have a Zeiss Conquest that I like even better. Another great choice are the Sightron Big Sky scopes. I like the fact that their glass is good (L.O.W. in ***an) and they have a hydrophobic coating comparable to the Bushy Elites (also good, solid scopes). Both Meopta and Minox are players worthy of a look-see. I'm not much on Nikon's but some love them.
