Random thoughts from me.... Debating the finer aspects of these different model I'm not sure many would like my opinion. The scopes are good, not great and over priced. I am not sure who makes them but it is likely Japanese made by Light Optical Works if they are truly good scopes....and truth be told on that you are likely being overcharged once you break $1k.

If you want the best get a Schmidt and Bender.

My thoughts on a hunting scope.... needs to be in the 2-3-4x range on the bottom end. Anything with more power on the low side is not going to get it done for a hunting scope as a general use scope unless it is tailored to a specific setup like a specific shooting house or mountain side.

And just remember I can do anything you can with a fixed 10x out to 1200 yds. maybe further at the range. So at some point you gotta ask yerself if you are overpaying for something you don't really need in the first place.
