Don't care for 34mm tubes, but otherwise.... - Burris XTR II 8-40x 50mm Rifle Scope 34mm Tube Second Focal Plane SFP

I don't care for 34mm tube scopes. Frankly, don't even like 30mm tubes. I think they simply ruin the looks of a fine fire arm and provide relatively little real gain in terms of performance. Having said that, I own Nikon Monarchs, high end Weavers, high end Bushnell, Leupolds, Sightrons and many Burris offerings, and particularly for the price point, this scope is easily the equal of, if not superior to, even the most expensive of these listed. It would be nice if there was a wider variety of reticles to choose from, but in terms of optical performance, it is top flight. Clarity is outstanding throughout the entire adjustment range, color and image is sharp, adjustments repeat like clockwork. This one is worth the money.
