    I sent a 30 year old Swaro back because it had something growing in it! Same scope came back sparkling again; no charge at all. They really look after their customers.

    I had a look through all my scopes yesterday. Each chosen to match a particular rifle. Zeiss, Leupld, B&L, Optima, Tasco, Hawke and Bushnell. Everyone a little different, everyone most well suited to the rifle and its use.
    I've had a lot of scopes over the years, and those I kept it was quite obvious why.
    My 25 year old Leupold is still a fabulous scope. The Hawke Sidewinder competed well will all of them especially as it has so many toys built in. The Bushnel Ultra for its package size was very bright and does the job, though neither the two Chinese scopes can compete with he pure build and finish quality of my Zeiss. But then my Zeiss can't do Air Rifle ranges. Two Tascos I have are excellent though not every Tasco I have is so good. The Opimas do show their age and though fine were to the bottom of the leaders board.
    One scope that still surprises me I'll tell you about but there is on for sale and I might just have to get another, so not saying until I have secured it.

    We really are spoilt for glass today. The real test is how they cope with different light conditions. The top brands show their pedigree here. As important is to match the scope to the rifle. If its requires a digi NV add on then that adds to the task.
    I've had a lot of fun finding the scopes that work for me, and good enough to keep. I'll always have an Optima Moonlighter not because they are so great but because they were of a time.

    I'm saving up for a new rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor, and that will have a completely new manufacture to me and configuration of scope to anything I have at present. All for the fun of it.
