Great scope for the price - Steiner Predator 4 4.4-16x50mm Rifle Scope 30mm Tube Second Focal Plane

I have owned a lot of scopes ranging from $400 to $2000 and the Steiner predator is the best bang for the buck scope I have ever purchased IMO. I owned a Steiner GS3 3-15x50 which was quite a bit more expensive. What Steiner has done with the Predator 4 is created a better scope than the GS3 (light weight, as good optically, more features) for fewer dollars. I was looking for an illuminated S1 reticle so when they added the E3 (same as S1) to the Predator 4, I was in. I have compared my Predator 4 4-16x50 to my Z3 with 50 mm objective and my Zeiss V4 and the Predator 4 wins hands down for low light transmission and is equal in clarity. If you want a better scope, simply pay a lot more :)
