Leupold is made in China assembled in the good ole USA....  You can't have anything nice anymore. Well, I got one on a rifle I hunt with regularly and it's ok. Not great when use to looking through European optics. The scope Lumpy posted can't really be beat for the money if you ok with the power range. Also Europtic has Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 for sale still. Minox ZA5-HD is a good scope as well. All sub $500.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I'm actually looking @ the Vortex Viper 6.5x-20x, anyone have any experience with this model, the review have been very good. Waste of money IMO, I had one and the glass was not what I was expecting, more on par with a Bushnell Banner series. Doe yourself a favor and move up to a PST or VX3 or something else.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Can't believe I'm gonna say this but if those are you're two choices I'd go with the Leupold. I haven't heard good things about the Terra line. Same here. I bought a Zeiss a couple of years ago. Glass was perfect but the eye relief was not nearly what I had with Leupold. I sold it and bought another Leupold. I'm actually looking for another Leupold now. Dr. B

You will get a lot more scope for the money in the 3X9 range than in a super zoom. Agree, I think military snipers use a 12X and their happy zone is 1,000 meters. Folks don't need a Hubble to shoot a deer at ANY distance you should be shooting at deer.
