A bit late here, but I'd recommend the Meopta Meopro 6x42 or if you can find one, a Swarovski PF 6x42. Have both and really like them. I think everyone is going Meopta. Give or take...............

Potentially. ![[Linked Image]](http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx87/Vereor1/image_zps9de4c489.jpg) So far it's fine with only a few hundred rounds, but we're going to replace the POS rings and flog the hell out of it next week. Is that a pre-64....? ?

You know, I wish you would. Its sounds more like you would be trying deliberately to destroy the scope than evaluate it but it would take you out of the irritating category of not having the slightest idea of what you are talking about.
The Meopta is a solid scope with minimal complication: fixed power, no moving erector, no adjustable objective. It might be tough enough to do well on your testing, which is more useful for scopes headed downrange. But how would you know? Everyone that has one seems to like it. You disparage them because it doesn't meet your standards. Actually you have no idea if it meets your standards or not.
I have fired 110 rounds this weekend; you don't think this is useful experience but you have fired no rounds with it and have no experience with the Meopta.
Right now you are critizing gear that others like and you have never used. That's fine and its a free country, but there is nothing particularly special or noteworthy about it.

She's still trying to believe I haven't.
Don't think she can pull the ruse off...though I am rooting for her!................

You have never mentioned evaluating the Meopro 6x42. Your first question to me was that you were hearing a lot about them and asked about my experience. If you have evaluated the 6x42 you have not mentioned any results. Frankly, I think it is too new to have undergone your extensive tests.
If you have, I will take back my message but I would like to know your objective evaluation.
It won't make much difference to me, but it will be interesting. It's the only current 6x42 I can use. I bought a couple and tried them. Someone whose opinion I value published a review praising their brightness, clarity and tracking. This confirmed what I already thought. As a simple fixed power scope on a deer rifle they will do fine in my remaining lifetime. If one happens to break down (all scopes do at some time or another) I will send it back for repair and mount another one on the rifle.

If only to coax another heartfelt Whine,out of yet another one of you Drooling Clueless Dumbphuqqs. Let's kick some numbers around,while sneaking up on inherent abilities of a given glass in extrapolation,as per objective overview. Pun be intended(Google it). Laughing! ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/837/w1nk.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/841/qm0c.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/513/deu4.jpg) I apologize up front,for the obscene round counts,scritches,scratches and perhaps even some of that new stuff they just invented,which they are calling "weather". Realizing of course,none of them things is "fair"...when using "all" that you "do" as a comparison. My bad. Laughing................... Does your Montana 84s (light done right) not feel like they are 'light done right' with a 20+ oz scope on top? Steel rings, too? Seems like a scope for a chunk build. I was going to try one but those scopes are too [bleep] fat for my Montana's.

150+ MOA on the erector and another 35+ on the windshield,don't suck.
DD's shim easily with Signatures and it's nice to mechanically center windage,while maximizing ele.
Samtucky has 42.7 Mils available on the erector.
Hint...............
