I had one and hunted it for one full season. To my eye's the scope wasn't in the same league as my 2.5-8X36 VXIII. Mine didn't resolve well, eye placement was critical and I always had trouble making out deer in the early morning with that scope. To my eye's not only was the Leupold a better value, it's a better scope. I like Swarovski optics. The PH 2.5-10X42 is one of my all time favorites. I don't have a favorite scope brand though. I just use what works best for me.
