    Cool, I kind of meant that I think there might be better ways to spend the money. I likely get more animals each year than most on this forum- with $400 or less scopes. I invest the money in airfare, motels, etc.
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    I find it interesting that some folks choose a brand name as part of their HBC moniker. It would seem to suggest that they're very proud of their ownership of a particular item(s)- and possibly what they feel that ownership conveys about them to others.

    It reminds me of the type of guy who buys a Harley, then shows up for work with Harley Davidson pencils.


    A $400 scope should work well for most hunters.

    OP, include the Leupold VX-3i in your wish list.
    Talk to Mark at Nechako for good advice and pricing...

    I’d tend to agree. Vortex has never impressed me in any way. There are some very very nice pieces of glass out there in the world, but that said, I am perfectly happy with my mid level Nikons.
    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?
