Whenever you buy a scope (or binoculars) it is very important to actually try it out. When my husband, Charlie, and I looked at scopes (primarily upper end), what he prefered and I prefered were different. I could see little out of his preferred scope and vice versa. We found that state-wide meetings were a great time to try out a variety of scopes--looking through the various scopes that folks brought. good luck, Tracey Muise --- Tim Leffew <tobirdmore@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am considering upgrading from my 25 yr old B&L > Discover scope.
