Just got back from scope shopping, I wanted a new Redfield, it was nice but did not thrill me, then I decided to get a Vortex but they could not make it fit my Savage, I finnaly ended up buying a Leupold VX-II and I really like that scope, I have never seen so much eye relief range keeping full light in the scope, and the light transition is as good as any of my Nikons.
