Thanks for the replies

I was trying to narrow my choices for a variable scope that had a fairly WIDE range or power...like a 2-10 power or a 3-12 power...And as I looked around I saw the Cabela's Alaskan Guide scope line..They advertised it with the 3-12 compact model for $229.00 just didn't know if they were in the same class as the Leupolds and Nikons.......
Thanks again
