Line that featured a contoured lens to go around the barrel and allow lower mounting, not worth the price in my opinion though.
Also when scope shopping, try to take it outside if possible, store lighting really makes it difficult to compare glass quality.

My redfield revolution 3-9x50 is amazing and is worth any negligible weight or bulk for me, especially for the money. Its tough to beat for me.
