Absolute best?
Well, we would maybe think about US Optics, or Schmidt & Bender, everyone seems to forget about them. Then maybe Nightforce a very close second to the above two.
Third place? I don't know, but I do have four Luppy's with a couple of those being the LR Tactical series, which have tracked excellant, with no trouble, even while shooting matches at differant yardages/meters.
For the money? If you keep you eyes open, you will find one of the Luppy Tactical Long Range Scopes for around $500 bucks, and NOBODY can complain about a deal like that.
NightForce scopes are warranted for 2 years, Luppy's, Lifetime. But saying that, I won't take anything away from a NightForce Scope. They are simply an Excellant product, and seem to be the #1 1000 yard Benchrest scope used.
But....this IS a Predator website, not a Benchrest website, and I think a Luppy M3 3.5-10X40 Milldot(picked up for $500 no doubt) is the ultimate predator scope. Very fast handling, very quick target aquisiton to any obtainable range.
But hey, I ain't nobody-anybody should be listening too.
Good shooting! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Hey, if it works for you, GREAT! Can't argue with that one bit.
However, since you're looking for a scope to excel in a predator hunting application (not benchrest) then why spend the $$ on the markup of a Mark IV? You can get the EXACT SAME glass, a predator-specific reticle, and a larger selection of variable magnification(s) in a VX-III?
