Have tested Maven optics, and they're very good. So are a bunch of others.

As I am not a scope company I would not have offered to send you a scope, for testing or otherwise. I might have offered to demo a rifle setup.

Anyway, I am still interested in the scopes you have found to be better than Leupold for modern rifles and why those scopes are better.

The 24hr Campfire is a good place to learn new things.

You offered to send me a "Greybull" scope to test, which was evidently a Leupold-made scope.

The LOW-manufactured dialing scopes I've used with great results over years of twirling them up and down have included Bushnell Elites, Nightforces, Tract Torics and Weaver Super Slams. There are probably some more I can't remember offhand.
