Heck, there was one sold here just a couple days ago on the classifieds for under $800.....

If a guy had to invest some money into a LR-capable hunting scope without really knowing what he’s looking for, that’d be the one. It’s got it all. Some may not prefer the reticle, and the weight may be a little much, but for the intended application it’s the best compromise out there, IMO.

Having said that, my Montana 84M is a sheep rifle first, and LR-capable second, so weight matters and it wears a SS 3-9x at about 5-6 oz less weight. My 8400 is more general use, so it got a LRHS 3-12x.
