Considering the same thing. I am all screwed up. I am seriously wanting to buy a nice scope. My two best scopes right now are a Conquest 3-9 and a SS 10HD. I want a good scope but can't make up my mind. Going to stay under 1500.00. The Leica seems to be one of the best options right now but I am all hosed over the reticles and 2.5 or 3.5 version.
I could also buy a SS 3-9 for the Grendel and a Accupoint for the A-Bolt 270 for the same money. I use the A-Bolt for hunting. I could also put the Conquest back on it (Leupold 3-9 x 33 Ultralight on it now), get a SS 3-9 for the Grendel like I originally planned and buy another rifle for the Conquest. See the problem! Now the Leica deal showed up about the time I sold my KTM 950 so if ever a time to buy a higher end optic...
I want low light equivilent of at my 8x43 Zen Ray ED's or better.

The Leica deal is without a doubt great for anyone wanting a high end scope for a big discount. That said. SS and the Accupoints are both sweet scopes. Both have better glass than most would think for their price. I just got rid of my Grendel but had a 3-9 SS on it, it is a great combination but some like higher power than 9X, I don't think it was needed being 99% of my shooting is less than 500yds. The accupoint is a great scope that most will argue is the best hunting scope w/ illumination for less than a grand. I'd have to agree. One thing that normally will become a factor once you buy Alpha level glass is you will find yourself wanting to get all Alpha level scopes and you will not always be happy with less. Hence why I stick to mid to high level scopes, my budget. If I was in your shoes I'd be getting the Trijicon and SS and another gun

Seeing as the Leica scope saved my mule deer hunt taking a 375 yard shot in the last 5 mins of daylight it wouldn't be fair for me to give you my opinion.
BUY THE LEICA! But don't get the reticle with the dots in it. CDD I believe it is called.

Chris,
I read my butt off about the Leica including your hunt. Read all over here, Koshkins, Snipers Hide and others, probably going to buy a 2.5 with the Ballistic Reticle.
Thanks for the input.

Not trying to hijack your thread SS but wanted the future searchers to have an easier session. Did you get yours yet?
