Scope Comparison Guides "Our job is to weed through the dozens of optic companies so you don't have to."
Many, many thanks to our
customers for your valuable feedback that resulted in the charts
below! We like Trijicon, Zeiss, Nikon scopes especially for value and how much scope you get for the money spent, but to be fair, every brand has a sweet spot. So it really depends on what someone needs, which is the best scope for their specific situation. (We are self-owned and receive no kickbacks from any manufacturer...) By Brand Over-all

** Zeiss is generous with their warranty program and send a brand new scope instead of repairing the old one more often than not. BUT, the factory makes the scopes in batches, which means you may have to wait several weeks to get a replacement. We suggest not sending anything in until after the hunts are over.
*** Trijicon produces specifically
for the military and tests every scope by mounting it.
****The amount of scope you get for
the money spent makes Leupold a lesser value dollar for dollar. |

*** Trijicon produces specifically for the military and tests every scope by mounting it. Subsequently, they do not reject minor scratches and blemishes on the scope finish. However, the optics are impeccable. |
