and a $1000 scope dosen't have chitt to do with KILLING deer......I can't think of a single instance in over 50 years of deer KILLING that a high end scope would of given me a deer kill where my Leupold didn't.
It does if you cant see it clearly! IF you are shooting at the last minute of shooting light, in dark timber or cover, and you MUST identify that the deer meets a 130 inch minimum!! If your trying to tell me , that you out of your mind. I have 3 of the 30MM Leupolds left. 2 of the are on guns in the safe. Still sometimes use the 4x14x50, but it doesnt compare to a 3x12x56 Meopta in the 1000 dollar range. The clarity AND ability to see details at distance is NOT the same. High end scope do a much better job with distance, darkness, and clarity than some cheap 250 dollars scope. Personally, I would quit hunting deer before giving up my favorite high -end scopes . I simple refuse to use cheap crap, that want stand up to the daily abuse I inflict on a scope. Thats why I chose NF so may times!
