    Help A Man Out

    Answer: Leupold and Vortex have always been great for me, there are no doubt better scopes out there, but these have worked for me. I am inside the 400 yard range and typical October-November western conditions, sunny days to freezing drizzle, and a blizzard for good measure. I have had good...
