My choice is for Leuold & Stevens. The after the purchase backing of the product is unsurpassed. The scope is one product that
you can skimp on and will haunt you for as long as you own it. It's not worth going the cheapest way you can. Put the purchase off for a while and then get the best quality you can. There a many excellent scope mfg out there. None of the really good ones are low priced IMO.
