[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 991534, member: 17593"] I have to agree with WildRose; you really need great glass to shoot long range. Also, higher priced glass doesn't always mean you get better light gathering. Most good scopes look fine in sunlight. But when do you see the big heads of game? Usually in very low light of mornings and evenings. If you're going to the 7 STW, it's probably because you want that long range and or knock down power for the bigger game. Cutting corners on scopes and mounts is a BIG detriment to accurately shooting long range and or in twilight. For the price of a 30 mm Leupold, you can get a whole lot better scope by other makers. Also, bigger objective bells and 30MM tubes will draw in way more light than one inch tubes and 40MM objectives. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
