re: Looking at Upgrading Rifle scope

this would be more than enough for you're intended purpose and is an excellent scope for it's pricepoint...the actual performance of riflescopes intended to be used for hunting in the $500-$800 range will be pretty close, even up to $1k the glass will be basically in the same category, its the features and add ons that make up the difference @ that point..either way this is a pretty good scope for the money.. If you watch for some good sales, the Leupy VX5 are GREAT scopes but are at the top of the price range for this category..
