Hey guys, thanks for the input, I haven't had a chance to make a decision yet cause I had to bugger out of SETX for that little thunderstorm with a name, you know, Ike.

I got to koon finger some Leupold and Nikon scopes this weekend not much optical difference my untrained eye could detect. If anything the Nikon was better, clearer etc. but I did like the Reticule in the Leupold was defiantly superior.

I wish I could lay hands on the Vortex and compare it side by side.

Whatever I'm putting this decision till I'm back in my house.

Later on.

Normally I would agree with you, but Ogre speaks very highly of them so its making me think...

Some time ago I picked up a Savage 10FP LE in .308, the guy I got it from had attached a Simmons 3-9x50 to it.
Not shooting it much I didn't really care but now I've started trying to make myself into a bit better of a shot and I have noticed that it doesn't really hold its zero that well... rather it doesn't hold its zero at all.

I'm looking for a better scope. I really don't have limitless funds so I'm trying to keep the cost down below $500 but I would like something that would let me put shots on target out to about 600 yards (I'm not confident enough to try that yet but I want to work out to it).

I have heard Ogre talk about Vortex scopes and I found one at Sportsmans guide for $400 : http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=451741

dunno really anything about Vortex scopes... ?

What do yall think?

Thanks,

Could it be a lizard of some sort?
Guess that doesn't explain the fur...

Any word on the wet pack results? Inquiring minds want to know!
I like the Golden Tiger better personally, it seems to be some what more consistent, at least out of a sks @50yds.
