Good weight on both, especially the Leupold. I have a 6x42 Monarch on my Savage 110. Very good scope! I think I've narrowed it down to either of the two listed above by tahqua or the Burris Signature.

This being the Burris I would consider.
Falls into about the same weight as the two mentioned by tahqua.

Signature is a good choice. Burris are well made and durable in my experience. The glass on the Signatures are pretty good, too.

If you do buy an IOR, I'd buy it here.  If there are problems, Chris can help.  IOR has spotty Customer Service, I know they are working to improve it, but there are still issues.


I DEFINITELY would not buy IOR from a guy at a gunshow - unless you really know and trust that guy.
