I own three. They pull in light better than my leupold mark fours. I bought a few new in the box 2.5x10's off eBay a few years around $290/295 shipped back when they retailed for a couple hundred more. I bought and tried three of the prostaff 5, 3.5x14 40mm when they were on sale at cabelas a year or so ago for $239! It's the best, crisp, clear optic your going to find in this price range. Like Starsky says...DO IT!
