[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4390498, member: 27991"] I have Busnell, Tasco, Williams, Redfield, Burris, Weaver, Nikon, Vortex and Leupold scopes. Scopes that were not clear, stable or I did not like the performance; I got rid of. I do not have a scope that I paid over $300 for. My favorite scope is a Bushnell Scope Chief 3x9-40. Dad bought it around 1964. I have no idea what he paid for it. It came with a post reticle, was like shooting around a telephone pole. In 1983, sent it to a guy in Atlanta (I have no recollection of name) he built the scopes for US Olympic team. $35, shipping included, he polished lenses, cut down telephone pole, installed duplex reticle and resealed. I heard he passed in '94. I do like the Vortex, Leupold and Nikon, but all of what I have, do what I need. I worked with a guy that had nothing but Leica. Good for him, I couldn't justify one. I could afford it, but didn't want to. That's why Yugo and Rolls exist, cover everyone. [/QUOTE]
