Scope$$$ Rifle$$$ Brand names and Quality

I don't think anyone looks through any scope. Aren't we looking at an image plane inside the scope, with hopefully a cross-hair on the same plane?

That is like saying that you don't look through a window,rather you look at an image transmitted through the glass.

Not the same at all, as evidenced by being able to put the crosshairs on the same focal plane as the image. You can't do that with a window unless you both paint an X on one side and press the target to the other side. By your reasoning a piece of pipe with a wire cross-hair and 2 pieces of window glass would be a functional 1X scope.

I prefer the old Redfields and Burris (prior to the Fullfield II). I pick them up all the time on the EE. Real Gems IMHO.

Over the years, I've owned Unertl, Lyman, Weaver, Redfield, Baush & Lomb, Zeiss, Kahles
and an older German or Austrian scope which, IIRC was called a Hensholdt (sp). Over the past few years, I've converted entirely to Leupold VX-II's .... they match my needs, abilities and expectations of quality, and if ever needed, their reputation for very good customer service & repair. No fuss, no muss, good quality equipment at a reasonable price.
