Toughness is nice, but I'd assume most "nice" scopes are pretty tough. Granted, it'd be a range toy and deer gun. It would only get a few bumps (and hopefully never dropped).




I'd sacrifice some distance for light gathering. I like being able to see those smart critters when they approach the feeder when they think it's dark.

The Leupold vx5hd 3-15x56 fits that bill. There are several people on here that own them and can attest to them. There has been a lot of shit spewed on this thread from people who haven’t spent much time behind quality optics but have read about them. I see 3-4 people on this thread who have. Most of us have put them through more in a weekend than the average deer hunter will his whole life. I know at one point FLS and myself were putting 2-300 rounds down range a week before the weekend then another 250-300 at a match that weekend. SW338 is using all his scopes are full auto and other rifles we can’t even afford to google. When you hear about how great a warranty is, it usually means a lot of people have used that warranty. I’d rather not even hear about a warranty vs how good one is. There is no way a blackhound optic is even in the same category as some of the above mentioned and you aren’t seeing an hour past sunset with it. If you want a $300 optic then SWFA fixed 6 or 10 is the only answer.
