Being limited to the amount of pictures per post, this is the continuation of the scope I view as "proven". This one has always held zero, tracked well and has helped to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of my rifles. I believe I paid $179.00 for it on sale and would not trade it for any Zeiss or Swarovski made. This is purely based on sentimental reasons, not market value:
This is where it rests now. On top of a 1956 model 70 30-06 fwt....
This, to me, defines the term "proven" when referring to rifle scopes.
