[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3200614, member: 15054"] I hear what you are saying. I am the same way. I assume you never had any rifle scopes??? I used to really like the Tasco scopes but the recent ones have all failed on me Centerpoint scopes were decent many years ago but the glare and ghosting is horrible and they changed and the quality really fell . Simmons was the same way with glare and ghosting. I had an older nikon buckmaster a 3-9x40 and the crosshairs were very thick which is great for hunting large game in low light and not so good for shooting tiny holes far away. the center of the crosshairs would cover up 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards. Not good for shooting 1/4" groups at 100 so i got a Centerpoint mil dot 4-16x40 and it covered 1/4" at 100. I still have that scope and it was just as clear as the Nikon. Todays Nikon in my mind got a bit more clear. Just last week I had another Tasco fail on me and took it back to academy and traded for another Nikon. You can go to academy and look through many scopes and play with the zoom and play with the focus and look through them in the store and notice eye position and look for ghosting or odd shadows when you move your head sideways away from centering your eye. many scopes you need to be right in line with the glass and your eye get a little off to the side and the sight picture is wiped out to black. Nikon is very generous in a way you can have your eye off to the side a little and still get a great view..this helps when trying to get on target really quick. I have hunted rabbit with an sks and a scope on it. You had to get that running sucker in the view really fast. I did find Hollow point 110 gr and rabbit do not make for much to eat. [/QUOTE]
