I tried several other scopes, but the Kowa seems to be in a class by itself. My reasoning for paying the price was (1) 4-pound scopes with decent optics seem to get left in the truck; (2) it is too likely that I would miss an animal at a good distance away if using a scope with lower quality optics. You might review the comments I got in my recent thread:
