Subject: What general-purpose scopes are 'tough?'

Thanks, imaginary. I was just trying to make sure we stuck to the 2 Leupys that Leupy says are essentially the same thing. Some of our discussion got onto other Mark 4s instead. You're right that I'm not considering those scopes at this point, as being over my limit for this app. I was just curious. And thanks for the suggestion, BobbyH.

jjrgr21, that's an interesting entry. If I were to raise the limit for this application, adding another one of the Weaver Tactical 3-15s makes more sense to me. They have locking turrets and a $100 rebate, to name a couple reasons. All the Japanese-made 3-15x scopes seem like they'd be good machinery; the example I own is. A Weaver Super Slam 3-15 ends up being high in the running for me, actually. I've discovered that a local store has an OUTSTANDING price on one, so between their price (already below my threshold) and the $50 rebate on top of that, it seems like a fairly obvious buy. Only trouble is that this same store has a nice Grand Slam that meets all my criteria for a pretty darned excellent (and even lower) sale price, too. ;)
I'm taking a new-to-me rifle and a combination of ancillaries to the range this week. The outcome of my outing(s) will probably impact exactly where on the price and magnification scales I end up in this decision overall.
