RE: Which Scope?
Ruger 77RLS .358Win. carbine with Leupold Vari-X II, 1-4x
Ruger 77RSI .308Win. with Leupold Vari-X III, 1-1/2 - 5x
Sako Mannlicher carbine, .308Win. with Leupold Vari-X III, 1-1/2 x 5x
Remington 700LSS .270 with Leupold Vari-X II, 2-7x
Ruger 77/22Mag with Leupold 3-9x compact
Ruger 10/22RSI model with Leupold 4x scope.
Guess you can tell, I like my Leupolds. Never had any problems. Great optics.
Have also used/liked some Weavers, a 1-3x on Marlin 30-30 was real good.
Redfields, Tasco, Bushnell - all okay, but I'll take Leupold, or the occasional Weaver.
