It's only a deal if it's what you want.
Could not agree more.
Rule 1 , never buy a luuuuupole, Zeiss, Swarovski or meopta .
What's Rule #2? And if not those 4 brands, then what? NF, S&B, Tasco
As far as scopes, to me that seems like a lot of X for deer under 500.
I've targeted whitetail at 450yds with the 3.5-10x50 and it's not quite the magnification I'd like, especially for my 60+ year old eyes. Now my 80+ year old friend whose ranch we hunt routinely kills deer at 350-400 yds with much lower quality glass than this.
