After that they get wild, becasue of the heat generated, and the super skinny barrel on my Ruger M77.
What I'm saying is that its not always about the glass. Sometimes, it really is the rifle, or the shooter.
I've also got an old Tasco 3x9x40 on my 03A3 that I use in northern MI for deer where the distance is not real long. The old ones are 10x as good as the stuff they are building nowadays IMHO. Everything else that I have in my safes has Leupolds on them, with the exception of one old Weaver 4 power that is built like a tank!
