I've started using Redfield Revolution scopes (just about exclusively).
price point is fantastic, I LOVE the sight picture. weight is as skinny as it can be.
I've not found a need for much beyond the 4-12x40 for any "normal" hunting application.
it's Leopolds sister company, and I've not had a bad experience with any of them (4 so far).
First teach a child to love God, second teach him to love family, third teach him to fish and hunt and by the time he is in his teens no dope dealer under the sun can teach him anything. Cotton Cordell
