[QUOTE="JPayne6128, post: 2684912, member: 23020"] What are the friends current interests? More of a hunter, or more of a shooter? Dialing or hold? What brand will not nag at them as they look at it in the field while waiting for game? Our family hunts the same game with likely 300 yard or less shots. We shoot traditional calibers with for-caliber flat shooting loads, .243, 6mm rem, .25-06, 7mm-08, 7mm rem mag, .30-06, .300 win, and .375 ruger. All guns are sighted in dead on at 250. All duplex reticle 1" tube scopes except me. No one dials but me. Our gear in that price range would be 3-9x40 Leupold's. None of them newer than 2012. 50% of which have been back to Leupold for full rebuild! In fact, just added a used Winchester featherweight in 7mm-08 for this season and it wears a 3-9x40 gloss Leupold that I bought for $100(it was fogged up), immediately sent to Leupold for service $12 shipping. 2 weeks later we have a scope, after sight in and ~40 ish rounds practice that we can reasonably trust as much as any scope in our minds. I've sent 5 back to Leupold over the last 35 years, but never had to send one back twice! For me it's part of the lead time getting gear ready for everyone to hunt. We do have 1 3-9x40 Burris Fullfield II that has been very reliable. Other than that we have Zeiss Conquest, Cabelas Instinct(Meopta), and I have a compact and a full size Nightforce. [/QUOTE]
