Scope advice.
As Mark Twain said There are two kinds of advice, the kind you accept and the kind you don't.
I like these threads because I get to read the posts of people who have actually used and not be so reliant on rumor and here say and unsubstanciated opinion.
As to the scopes I can tell you about, they are:
Two Leatherwoods the M600 and the M1200( I mentioned them above). Yes there are made abroad, so are Zeiss,(never mind). The quality of the Leatherwoods are greatly improved over their scopes of a few years back. I used the old ART I,and ART II for over 14years. I consider them to be the best type of scope for military use because they range and fire within 4 seconds.
I can say that one of my favorites is a TASCO worldclass 3 X 9, mil Dot. I used it on a heavy cal (8mm) for 11 years. and it never lost it's zero. About $80.00. I still have it in my safe as a back up but replaced it with a Leatherwood.
I have a BSA 4 x16 on My 30-06 and have had no problems with zero in 8 years of shooting 240gr HPBTs at @2650fps. About $130.00
I can only tell everyone not to be affraid of the Leatherwoods. He has produced the new M-1000 which is a new version of the old ART ii, but better. Blitzzz
