Best there is in this price range.... - Leupold VX-3i 8.5-25x50mm Side Focus CDS Target Rifle Scope

This is the third one of the VX-3s that I have purchased. The other two are 6.5-20x50. For about 10 years now I have been making a trip to South Dakota every year to hunt Prairie Dogs and for my money this is the best there is. I'm sure there may be more expensive European scopes available that may be slightly better but you can't go wrong with an American Made Leupold.
