I have Leopold down to tascos and cheap is not the way to go. I have found this to be true: that is refurbished scopes are better than new ones. It's like this, buying a new scope you run a chance that something is flawed. They can't check every scope. You buy a refurbished scope and not only do they fix what ever was wrong but they check everything else and you get an unflawed scope. I have 4 now and they all have been great at half the price.

Natchez had an airrifle scope 6x18 with target knobs refurbished gauranteed water proof, fog proof and......shock proof. Well I'll just see about that. I put in on my 7 rem mag and 1000 rounds later it workes great.

It's refurbished for me from now on.
