Thanks Deadeye308 for the reply I am still on the fence as to which one of the now 3 options to choose from. Pros and cons on each. Still so very few reviews out there on the Tract and fewer comparisons. I'm not in a huge hurry as hunting season will be over about the time I would get one and...

I had found a Brand New Leupy 3x15x44 VX5HD w/Firedot Duplex for $815, but procrast???ed and missed it. If I go with leupy i'll have to get new rings to. I'm trying to get it done for <$1000. 56mm is making it tough though.

Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge and experience. I hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed New Year. Has anyone tried the Tract Torics ? I have read some great reveiws. PS: Sorry Wedgy, didn't mean to throw you with WWYD. I still aint figured out the new language they speak today.

Thanks Wedgy,I get the math part of it. I guess there is no fair comparison between the HD5 and the VX5 because they don't have the same Obj. diameters. So guess the question is, which is better(brighter longer) to those who have compared both the 3x15x50 HD5 or the 3x15x44? Obviously the 56mm...

Is the difference between the 44mm and the 56mm worth 300 dollars?

Anybody have any Tract Toric comparisons with these?

Thanks for the reply Rich, have you by chance made the same comparison with the same Leupy in the 44mm Objective?

Hopefully you fellows with way more scope experience could help a Florida boy out. I am looking at these two: Zeiss HD5 3x15x50 and the Leupold VX5 3x15x56. I am mostly looking for the best low light visibility. Most shots will be out to 125yds with max at about 350yds. Won't necessarily be...

Bruce, What would you suggest? I am trying to get Scope ,Bases, and rings all for no more than $1k? I figure $150 on the bases and rings should be close and the rest on the scope. I want to stay with moa/moa( I like the PST EMR-1 retical). I would like good mechanically sound target style...

Hey Guys, Back withya. Thanks for your replys. If I go with the PST how much of an improvement in glass if any will i see over the LightseekerXL? Does anybody on here like or dislike Pentax? Just trying not to pay twice as much for little or no improvement. Low light situations are tough with...

Never seen a S&B in real life thank there just a myth around these parts. Although I did try on a Presidential Rolex back when i was about 25. Should have seen the guys face when i asked to see it. And when I took it off and handed it back to him seemed like he spent 10 minutes wiping the thing...

It seems that about the time I made up my mind on the scope, I started seeing all these posts. And if I come into more money than what I'm able to save up between now and time to buy, Huskemaw is definately on the short list. Havn't heard anything but good about them. My problem is no one within...

Hey Guys, Still saving for my new scope. Was looking to replace my Pentax Lightseeker XL 3x9x40 with a Viper PST. But the more I read on here the more confused I get. Seems that some of you guys are favoring the Sightron Glass over the PST. I like the features (bells and whistles) that the...

Hope everyone had a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Years. Any of you guys know of any or suggest any custom gunsmiths here in N. Central, FL (Ocala/Gainesville and surrounding area)? Someone who can finish and install rifle barrels and such.

Just curious if any of you guys know what the listed BC of the Federal Fusion 150gr 270WSM is? I cant find it in there ballistic programs and they wont reply to my emails. Am I just not seein it?
