For the price you will have a hard time beating this scope. While B&L's, and Leupolds are the standard to judge by, this scope has in my opinion, held par with them. I own 5 of these on calibers from .17 to .338 Federal both bolt and semi and have yet to have an issue. I have used other scopes in this price range and don't find them to even come close. One even dropped the horizontal crosshair during a hunt from recoil. If you have the big bucks go for the gold, otherwise this is a solid unit at a great price.
