ya know, several years ago I can understand thinking Leupold or nothing but not now. With bang for the bucks being ridiculed I can say that I helped friends buy a Bushnell 4200 for under $200 and a Weaver Super Slam for about the same. Turned others on to Weaver K6 for about $120 and bought a Burris 6x40 with a #4 for about $175. Options like Tract and Vortex and Meopta are now players. Leupold is still a player, hell the last scope I bought was one but these others meant I got more bang for the buck when I pulled the trigger. It is the way it is NOW. With a Meopta available at roughly half the price.......

When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of
