Thanks for the wealth of information so quickly. I'd be partial to a Unertl, based on my experience with their sporting scopes. I have had one of them, in 20X, for probably 30 years. But, I understand the problem with availability. Unertl scopes seemed always hard to get, even new.

I like the looks and the pricing of the Malcolms but I'm hesitant about hauling one around in the farm truck, looking for crows. That's really about the only usage it would see. I don't do much paper punching anymore.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
