2 scope report.

id like to report on two scopes ive recently picked up. a 4-16 weaver classic. and 6-18 leo with tall knobs.

the weaver for the money, just shy of 300bucks so far is being a great scope..
its the 4-16x42 with target dot reticle. the adjustable objective is spot on and goes from like 20 feet to as far as youd ever look through a scope. one mazeing thing. at 20ft on 16 power you can see very clear. i figured it would be blurry at least alittle
adjustamants are fairly crisp and seem consistent. and the scope looks good mounted. wich i know shouldnt matter what a scope looks like.
so for the money i think this scope is right in there.

the 2nd scope is leos 6-18 target dot with tall knobs. scope is crystal clear and eye relief to me does seem to be better than the old 6.5-20 leos. maybe possibly even the the new ones. me and freind were doing side by side comparisons between the old 20 power and the the vxII 18 power. neither seemed clearer than the other but the 18 power just seemed like it was easier to look through.
this scopes objective is easy to adjust and also stays clear when adjusted close. by close. i mean itl still look real clear with the objective set at 100yds and your shooting critters at 300.
adjustments are far firmer feeling than the weaver and seem alot more precise. guess thats what another 200 bucks gets you.

both scopes have been used to dispacth meduim to long range varmits. after useing in the feilld i dont know that theres any way i can go back to shooting heavy posted reticls.
