Meopro arrived from Cameraland and mounted on my T3 Hunter. If the Meopro had not been available, I more than likely would have went with the Elite from Grice's at $199. Did look hard at the Weaver SS and VX2 though, so thanks again gentlemen for your thoughts. Bill ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/5iWADe2.jpg) That ought to be a helluva setup there SD. Let us know how it shoots, tracks, etc will you?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Will do JGR, but I won't have any range time until mid October.

Not to thread jack but how do the new Elites compare optically to the 3200 and 4200?

Get a TRUGLO 3x9 by 40 from Natchez Shooter's Supply for 120 bucks. You get an illuminated red/green BDC reticle and a clearer image than the Luepold I took off my 375 H&H. I have the 3x9 on my .223 Mod. 70, and put one on a Marlin 45-70 for a friend of mine. I put a 3x12 on the long action Mauser 375 because the 3x9 wasn't quite long enough to fit. The 3x12 by 40 costs a whopping $140.
These three scopes Are clear, sharp, and track and hold their zero. The 375 has well over 200 rounds on it, and the 45-70 in excess of 300. I don't know how many rounds have gone through the .223. The durability is there, you get a lighted BDC reticle with brightness control and you can change it from red to green by turning the brightness knob. At less than a hundred fifty bucks, what's not to like? One of you guys needs to twist off and try one of these scopes. I did, and was hooked when I found out how good they are. Get out of here...you're drunk. I wouldn't pay a 3rd of that for a TruGlo. You must have NEVER looked through decent glass.

Take a look at the Vortex Diamondback HP models. I see them on sale for $200.00 to $300.00, depending on power range. I have a 2-8x32 and a 4-16x42, and they are really nice for the price. I think they are the real "sleepers" in the Vortex lineup.
