Likely not the best but works for me at a very attractive price point. If I had to pick their best it's the 2.5-8X36 that rides on my big game rifles. If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

Lately, I've been using 4x Zeiss Conquests, and have been extremely pleased with them, and a 6x Kahles as well. The rest are various "vintage" scopes, such as Lyman, Unertl, Kollmorgen, etc... Jeff

Do use Zeiss, mostly. I like Schmidt und Bender, Swarovski, and (upper class) Leupolds too , as well as others, depending on purpose.
