Adui13, read my above post about Tasco! First one was OK for about 4 years. It literally fell apart! Luckily at the gun range. The other failed me the very first season, result was a wounded and lost deer. No it was not the shooter either! When I took it back to the range no 2 shots were any closer than 4 to 6 inches apart! Also on their lifetime guarantee, it took them almost 3 months to replace it. If a Leupold scope does break, it will be replaced within days, not months!
I know the Leupolds cost more, but as the old saying goes "you can pay me now, or you can pay me later!" The "later" part usually ends up costing more in the long run, and also the uncountable cost of a ruined hunt!
I'm not saying every cheap scope will fail, but the odds are sooner or later they will!
