I seem to recall 52' you being suspicious of QD mounts from your courses. At that time I had a big think and have now gone all screw clamps for main scopes. I have a couple of LaRue QD's now sitting idle, replaced by the peace of mind that comes from straight clamps with known torque. More streamlined too and less chance of catching on clothing. I'm thinking the only reason QD would be better than screws was if you needed to remove a damaged scope in a hurry. Everything else is just a couple of minutes with a torque screwdriver.
PVBoom...One man's 'ludicrous' is another man's pride and peace of mind. Everyone has a perception of what is value for money. The scope in the picture is a March Tactical (made in Japan). The types of guns talked about on this forum are relatively cheap when compared against other shooting disciplines so it's all relative. Coming from an F Class background where competitive guns cost $5,000+ I don't see $175 as anything more than 'buy once cry once'.
Leica does make nice glass. I have an 8*42 pair of Leica binoculars and the colors pop. It has 'Made in Portugal' on the side...
