Here is a good read and review of top to mid range glass. Some of the results were very surprising. Well worth the read before you spend your money.

That is pretty damn intricate. I'll have to read over that. I'm a little disappointed the vortex turret accuracy is 2% off at higher rotations.

Pretty interesting article. Based on price / value, I'd say I've been doing pretty good with Leupold glass. I know there are better scopes out there, but now I know US Optics or Hensholdt are really the two I should be looking at if I decide to upgrade.

LOL yeah that scope is a joke.Originally posted by dee View PostUS has a hit or miss return rate for their price. The big surprise to me was the March scope as it is one of the more expensive tested."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

The Leupold tested here are in the $2k+ price range. A far cry from even the decent MK4. I've felt for a long while that Leupold is over priced unless used or at the mil/leo price discount. Keep in mind this test/review is directed towards the prs crowd where dialing up and down are crucial. The br and f class crowd can get away with having to make slight adjustments along with the required ones since they are allowed some sighter rounds. I would throw S&B along with Kahles up in that list.Originally posted by AnthonyS View PostPretty interesting article. Based on price / value, I'd say I've been doing pretty good with Leupold glass.

Especially for the price. They are highly praised in the br and F-class crowd. I was pleased with the ranking of the Bushnell Elite Tac series scopes tested I have always liked those scopes and have had good luck with the one tac model I have. The ranking NF got optically surprised me. I didn't expect them to rank that high and I own one.Originally posted by CJ View PostLOL yeah that scope is a joke."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"

i really liked the note about usage of reticle holdover vs. dialing
interesting it noted a 1/3 of the top shooters are using holdover.
And you have to assume they can likely afford scopes with accurate adjustment...
so does this give more argument to going FFP, and grid style reticle holdover ?
