Thanks guys. I will be selling the Leupold and keeping the Burris. Just for giggles I took the 2 scopes in question out one eve at dusk. Spent probably 20-30 minutes comparing brightness, clarity etc. I made sure both were always on the same power level. Honestly I went with an expectation that the Leupold would do better, it is a Leupold after all. Well I had to admit that the Burris was clearer and brighter, especially when picking apart thick brushy areas. I asked myself, which scope would make it easier to spot a deer in that brush pile, and then looked through both scopes side by side. Like I said, the Burris was clearly better. In more fields/open areas, I didn't think of the difference quite as much.

......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
