leupold has the warranty nailed down tight. they have a pretty good line of scopes for the $$. I have a vari-xIII in 6.5-20,a VXII 3-9, a vari-xII in 3-9, a LPS in 4.5-14 and all are good scopes.....however.
they absolutley are not what the zeiss conquest is optically (excluding the LPS, that is a nice scope)
I think the 4200 is a better bang for the buck.
Nikon has a pretty good scope for the $$. they are not too keen on big bucker rifles...but neither is swarovski. I know I have puked em' both. I would have no problem owning one on a rifle up to 300 win mag.
burris has a lot to offer for the $$$, prolly more scope for $200 then anyone else can muster, if I had only $200 and had to buy a new scope, it would be a burris.....however,
I bought two of the ffII's and one had to go back to colorado for warranty work, the warranty dept takes twice as long as leuy, but a month is fair turn around for a scope.... I will let you know how long SONA takes. I personally would save another $50 and spring for a 3-9 4200 online for $250....just me.
bushnell, I HATE SAYING I OWN A BUSHNELL!!!! but.....
for my $250 you flat can't beat the 3-9x40....a bunch of scope for the $$ I have a 2.5-10 4200 that still says bausch & lomb.....the way it should be. I think the weight is the only downer on the line....I still am pulling my leuy vxII custom shop off my TI gun to make way for a 4200, cause I like it that much.
weaver, I don't own a weaver anylonger. I have had grand slams and fixed powers. the eye releif was pretty light for my 338....did not like that much, optically it was very good for the $$. the grand slam is everything the vxII is and a good value, not my first choice, but I would trust one on any hunt.
when it is all said and done I would trade all my scopes off to have only zeiss and 4200's. swarovski has killer optics, but my trust is had as I puked a scope that cost way too much to throw away.of the 4200 and zeiss,the conquest is the better optically but only by a VERY slight amount AND only at top power (to my eye, and I have both) if you run a 3-9 of each at 6 or so power they are too close to call in just about any light conditions, the 4200 does have rainguard which I really like....I like being able to see a snap shot in the rain a bunch more than I need to see a "redder" red or "deeper" blue....I take function over fancy any day.
I think anyone can find a flaw with any scope made and yet any of the ones I mentioned will serve you very well on any moderate weght rifle of any sane caliber.
don't expect much on a sub 7lb 300 ultra mag though........trust me

you are gonna have fight on your hands claiming a nightforce has anything on a S&B or a USO. they are good stuff........but there is always better.
Must be joking. S&B or a USO over Nightforce? :rolleyes: :o
How about this. Buy all three....Take them out of their boxes....Smash the S&B and the USO using the Nightforce like a hammer and then continue to use the Nightforce with no POI change. :dunno: S&B and USO will Change POI. Nightforce will not........ ;)

Nikkon Got the most for my $299. Nice Buckmaster edition, with the bullet drop compensation retical. I love it
You proved you don't know a good truck so I figure you don't know squat about scopes either :hello:

+1, Nightforce kicks asssss, but I use Nikon on my rifles, the buckmasters are great scopes, the new monarcs are superb.you are gonna have fight on your hands claiming a nightforce has anything on a S&B or a USO. they are good stuff........but there is always better.
