Hi All,

Well the best scope I have is a Pecar Berlin, I thin it shade the S&B which I brought new even. Now the Pecar Berlin scopes have interchangable reticles although i ahve never done so yet. I do need to get a different reticle for one of them as it's just a plain cross hair. The three I have were all brought S/H and are all varibles, I have 2 0f the 3-7x36 scopes and a 4-10x45, all are steel tubed.

I find it strange about the US custom rifle builders only using Leupold, but then again perhaps not ther is still a lot of "if it's not made in the USA it's not good thinking around still". I happen to have a world class custom rifle builder not far from where I live just now and he builds a lot of Dangerous Game rifles which actually get to hunt and not just sit in someones safe. His workshop walls are adorned by the photos from his clients with their trophies, and the scopes they mainly choose are German low powered varible scope.

Now I will have to ask him how often his customers request a leupold scope fitted, a lot of his work ends up in the US and your current President and the last one both have one of his rifles. Their pictures recieving the rifle from the US agent are on the wall. Whether these two rifles will get to hunt I don't know
