I really appreciate the advice. Sounds like some of you guys are really seasoned and have been around the game a while. For several reasons I think I'm leaning towards the Leupold, but will continue my research on the others that were mentioned. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. Best.....

large objective NO, ???? are u kidding me. Bugs N Bows..why don't you remove all your scopes and put 32mm on them? Really
I sold LOTS probably hundreds upon hundreds of different scopes for years in my shop...during a trip we took them out in low light and did our own comparison...set them on a bench while up in Saskatchawan (almost dark) and without touching them looked through each one all focused at the same object 150 yards away...I will mention the top three Swarovski, Leopold and Burris...not in that order for any reason...the rest didn't owe up. But we ALL agreed on one thing there was no difference between the Swaro & Leopold both with the same objective. So from that day on I outfitted all my weapons (inclusive of handguns) with Leopold. I hunt all over Canada and the US ...never, not once have I had a problem and even more so NONE of our customers have ever complained about a Leopold. That doesn't mean there are not a lot of good scopes out there..but price and reputation says it all
