Leupold vs. Sightron

[sask378]

I'm looking for some help with this one:

Sightron SIIB 3-9x36mm AO

Leupold VXII 3-9x33 Rimfire EFR

These 2 scopes are pretty much the same price. Any opinions of which would be the better for a .22LR?

The scope will be going on my 10/22-T probably. Maybe my SR-22. Thanks

Where can I find one of those particular Sightrons?

Hirsch Precision has that Sightron coming in soon.

Just bought and tested the Leupold VX II 3-9x33 EFR yesterday in the gopher patch and I was very impressed. Very clear glass,great to find those gophers ducking in grass. I like the adjustable objective and the fine cross hair is a must for varmints. I picked up mine for $480 shipped to my door.

I have heard good things about the Sightron but they are very hard to find in Canada and I dont care to wait for a dealer to order one. Clay @ Prophet River can have that scope to you in 2 days.

Id also consider the Weaver rimfire 3-9x32 AO its way cheaper then the Leupold and guys say they are about 95% as good as the Leupold.

Cheers!!
