I have also used some of the Nikons a Weaver Grand Slam(glad it's gone) A Zeiss Conquest and of course the Burris line..especially the older Fullfield and a couple of the newer signatures. They are head and shoulders much better than the Fullfield IIs. The Conquest is a good scope if a bit high priced(even wholesale) The Nikons are ok but the fild of view seems restrictive...for me anyway. I like the older Fullfields and the Signatures very much. My Fullfields are both 2x7s and are just not good 'nuff for my eyesight problems. One of the Signatures I got on a rifle from another HC member and it seems to be a very well made scope..and that rifle is very accurate. The newer Leupolds are usually ok..if a lot pricey..but the rifleman line is somewhat cheaply made in my opinion The VX I is marginally better and their new Redfield line seems to be decent too..just not as pretty. I would prefer to buy American and have quite a few esp older Redfields and Leupolds and of course the real Weavers.. Hard to buy American scope these days
