This should be a no brainer

We have one of these threads every day. Need to sticky one

leica makes great glass/coatings.... if you have access to a leica at cost price then go for it. always, always spend more on the scope than the rifle.
It makes a difference, i sold this shite for almost 5 years. Had all the products... Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, Leupold, Nikon, Burris, Bushnell..... I'd buy in that order. Ex, if you have 2,000 to spend.... get a $1200 scope and spend the $800 on a gun and the best mounts you can buy. No less than a leupold mount set.

Thats a great buy on that VX2.

Optics Planet usually have some good deals.

Dogs getting a little far for iron sights?

I'd be talking to Heberfest, he'll be a lot more knowledgeable about this if you let him know exactly what you're looking to get out of your scope. I'm not a huge deer hunter, but the times I've used Leica glass I was really impressed

If you have the ability to get a 30mm tube get it.... german made lens/coatings with the 30mm scope tube is the difference. You could have a 1" tube from say a nikon monarch or leupold vx3 with a 50mm objective and not get better light transfered to your eye than you could with say a leica 2.5-10 x 42 b/c of the 30mm tube vs 1" tube.... its been a while, but take them out at night/dusk and see the difference. you have to wonder about a scope that is 1/3 of the price of another scope but yet looks clearer in the store under flourescent lighting.... could it be that the coatings are manufactured to look better that way????
