Im doing some research for optics on my next rifle purchase (Cooper Excalibur in .270). I currently have Leupold VX-3's on my rifles and like them but i know there are better quality optics out there; not that im dissatisfied with my Leupys. Im considering Swarovski American, Zeiss Conquest, Leupold VX-3, and Kahles Helia CL. Something in the 12-15 power range 50mm and $1000 max. Im not necessarliy looking for the best optics but the best value out of these options. (Is a $1000 Swarovski that much better than a $600 Leupold or Zeiss?) Also I would rate importance of qualities for me as 1.mechanics
