Lil E,
The Paralax on scopes are set differently. ie.. a shotgun/muzzle loader scope is usually set for 50yds and other loger range scopes 100 or 200 yds. I believe most .22 scopes are also set for 50yds. Some are also designed to handle different types of recoil. I agree with 1950 Kid, few scopes beat the Leupold for quality and service, not to mention a lifetime warranty.
I have found the best prices at Natchez shooter supply.

By the way, Leupold is changing there models for the 2004 year. Now most scopes are clearanced priced.
