I've ditched all my variables and gone fixed.
Can't speak highly enough of the Leupy 6x42 and 6x36.
I went with the 6x36 on my Tikkas. My buddy has the 6x42 and it wasn't $100 better or brighter to me and not worth the extra size and weight (I've got the Superlites).
Optics planet always has 5% coupons and free shipping so you'd be looking at about $333 for the LRD model.
As SLM once said, 'A Leupy fixed 6 is never a wrong answer'...
