I've got a buddy who is hunting fool. Saves money on rifles by doing alot of his own work and buys old Weavers and Leupolds for his scopes. He goes hunting all over the world, Africa, New Zealand, etc.
Showed me a picture he took of an african lessor cat he shot with an old El Paso Weaver K-6. Took him at night.
Very reliable scopes among those in the know. Not as pricey as the oldeset Leupolds. If you can do w/o the fancier reticles, they odviously work fine. E
