The people who have the ability to shoot big game at 500yds don't ask strangers on a message board what scope to buy.Scope needs to be able to handle 500yds max.
This quote sounds a bit harsh, but it's a statement borne of reality. If you currently shoot that far already - you know what equipment to get since you've likely already cycled through a bunch of choices and determined what specific things are needed for that sort of shooting. If you don't shoot that far already - you ought not be taking shots at game at that distance.The people who have the ability to shoot big game at 500yds don't ask strangers on a message board what scope to buy.
If thats not a photoshop i have a crossman with a rocketlauncher on it for cheap.I have many of the scopes mentioned here, but as my eyes got older, i needed a scope that worked especially well in dim light.
So, i set out to buy an affordable scope that would be the "best" in low light conditions, and after looking through a LOT of scopes, i bought the absolute best one for my eyes,
I put it on my "go to gun" that gets used all year around and i'm VERY happy with my choise, it's what i'd buy again! It was a GREAT buy at $400.00 and you have to love the clarity and long eye relief of the 3x9 Zeiss Conquest!

That's how scopes get mounted on double rifles.If thats not a photoshop i have a crossman with a rocketlauncher on it for cheap.
Leupold for basically the same reason. I prefer fixed scopes in the range of 2.5x to 4x which is more than enough for ethical hunting distances IMO. Are Leupolds the best? Who knows. They are definately a top tier company that stands behind their product and that's good enough for me. I've always been happy with their scopes.After trying many a scope over the years, I have come to the conclusion that I will not be at all satisfied by any scope unless it is a Leupold.
Some people like Chevy's and will swear by them, others the same with Ford, and others the same with Dodge.
My decision to like only Leupold comes from much experience with other brands over the years and I have always come back to Leupold. They are pricey, according to some, but they are good for life, in fact, many lives, and their customer service is Second to NONE! I sent one back last year as the parallax adjustment was too hard to turn after 25 years (and not using it at all for ten years prior to my sending it back). Within two weeks, it was back to me in my mailbox, good as new!
