+1.....IMO they are the best of the best...been using them exclusively since 2001....heavy = strength. Worth the extra $ to me...


Scenar: Accustomed as I am to things like 4X and 2.5-8X scopes, I'm fussy when it comes to too much weight in a scope....but I have to admit that the Summit,while about as "bulky" as a 3.5-10 Leup,really did not feel that "heavy" to me on the M70.....it sort of nicely balanced the whole rig off and made it very shootable......the very long eye relief(even at 10X)makes it very user friendly. No need to be concerned getting whacked with this thing....this scope could go on a 375H&H...no sweat wink



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
