Going to bring this thread up again, I went hunting out of town just after starting the thread and forgot about it. This has been a good thread so far with lot's of positive comments for Burris, Weaver and Meopta among others. Weaver's seem tough to find in this country but Burris is easy to find and there are a few places stocking Meopta.

I ended up buying a Bushnell Elite 2-7x32 so far but haven't shot it yet, seems like a decent scope but we will see. I'm going to unload a couple of Leupold's but will keep a good M 8 6x36 I have that has been solid.

More than likely I will stay with the Burris 3-9x40 but out of curiosity is there any reason to avoid the FF 11 4.5-14x42? It would be going on my heavy barrelled 260 Rem.
