I won't buy a scope with more than 10 power, that does have a parallax adjustment. I'd either pay the extra for side focus or go with the 3.5-10×40

I didn't think about the parallax. Thanks! That is great advise.

You might consider one of these, SWFA SS sale SWFA is currently discounting some of their SS scopes. Prices good through the weekend. All 3-15X42s $500 for the SFP and $560 for the FFP 3-9X42 HD model for $500 10x42 HD for $700 http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-C187.aspx
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Nice!
I was looking awhile back at the SWFA stuff. I didn't know they were on sale.
I already have a couple of their optics and have NO complaints.
I appreciate the heads-up!

No Leupold scopes are made in China. Blows me away the stuff you hear. I don't like that big of a scope on an AR-15. Biggest VX-3i I'd go on an AR is 2.5-8x36, but that is me.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

Varmints: Coons, Skunks & Coyotes for the most part. 80% of the shots have been at 125/yards +/-
I have been running this rig for about 10 years with a 1980 model Bushnell 3x9.(Been a great optic) It pretty much stays at 6x
Now that I have a 'Can, I want something with an elevation knob I can twist on. I also have an area now I can get to 500/yards with.
I do have much better hardware for killing at 500 but I would also like to tinker with the 223 at that range.
As for Chinese Leupolds, I was curious since I have seen first had that they are having Binos made there. A buddy got a set of Binos for xmas a couple of years ago and showed me the box. Made In China.
