Yes,have lots & lots of money to toss at glass. Or you can listen to me.
Myself. I use nothing but old Simmons Aetec 2.8-10x44 made in the Philippines.(must be made in the Philippines!!!Not China) You can pick them up on ebay for a just over a 100 bucks. As good as any Zeiss,Bausch & Lomb ect for a fraction of the price.
The Philippian made Aetec will have the gold inlay on them. The Chines junk will not

This scope is at its best in low light. In fresh snow & moonlight I have picked out coyotes as far away as 300-400 yards at night.
