I'm in the market for a new scope. Hunting mainly. I don't really have it narrowed down, but I can say this, I have had a z5 swaro. I have had a s&b klassik. Both of these scopes, to my eyes, were OPTICALLY better than any Leupold vx5, redfield, vortex razor hdlh, Nikon monarch, low end minox, MARCH (most expensive to date), and a lot of cheaper stuff I've owned. The swaro seemed to have a better eye box, but the s&b seemed to have better glass, and better build quality. I'm starting to look at meopta r2 's. I don't care about bells and whistles. I want the best, brightest, glass I can get, comfortable eye box, around 15 power on the high end. I have toyed with the idea of a fixed 8. I like German style rets. I want a 30 mil tube. without getting too close to the 2k$ mark. I'd prefer to be well below it. Best options?
