Optics-the price vs. quality issue

[PJR]

PaulTX:

I hate to ask but do you know what the eye relief on that scope is? IIRC the 2x Leupold M8 is a pistol scope with an 18" eye relief. The scopes listed at 2.5x are made for rifles with regular eye relief.

PJR - Dang, that something I didn't consider. I thought it was just a regular rifle scope. I'll check out the site you gave me. Looks like I might have a Leupold scope for sale because 18" is a little long for even a scout type mount on my Marlin.

be in my shop after hunting season is over and prowell through my bin of scopes that need to be returned to the factory for repair.you will find many bushnell tasco and simmons.very few leopold, burris ,nikon or bauch and lomb/.

switching scopes in mid season is a real pain for anybody.it cuts into to much hunting time.for the extra time off and the extra expence of ammo for re sighting your gun in it only makes sence to buy the best.....


bauch and lomb and nikon make very affordable models in the $150 to $250 range.dont take a chance with optics..its a dumb move...
