I bought a pair of alaskan guide binocs a couple of years ago and have been very happy with them. Now it is time to buy a scope and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the alaskan guides? If so, how would it compare to zeiss conquest, leupold vari-x II, bushnell elite or other similiar? Gonna put it on my 30-06 for now and eventually a 300 short mag (sorry, another victim of the rifle manufacturers marketing departments) Any and all comparison info is appreciated, looking through scopes in a well lit store is no way to make a decision.
