Have also owned a slew of leupolds and swarovskis in the past as well as a couple of trashcos/bushnells in my younger days. As with rifles, i have decided that quality beats quantity

The Lyman's are and were very important to the shooting sports. My first scope was a 6X Lyman Wolverine which I still have. These days I also have Leupolds and others. Here is one of the Supertargetspots. All guns should be locked up when not in use!

Yeah, I know Weatherby didn't really manufacture them, but that's what is says on the eyepiece. Speaking of which, who did manufacture Weatherby scopes? It is crystal clear for a scope from the mid 1990s. It says Weatherby Supreme 3-9x44. It is really a fine scope. I tried to see a difference between it and my Swarovski AV 3-9x36 and I couldn't. I would think the newish Swarovski would put it to shame. Last edited by jimbo202; 09/04/12.

Right now, all Leupolds and one Schmidt Bender...easily the best variable of the bunch. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

But best of all...it was Fathers day last Sunday, so I rang my wife and breathlessly told her that I had managed to order a Leupold VX3 1.5-5 for Fathers day and that I would take her over to the local gunshop to pay for it. I heard her grind her teeth over the phone before agreeing that that was indeed a fine idea. So..heh heh...I count that one as a definite WIN!!! Happy Fathers day to me, happy fa...! These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
