[QUOTE="deactivated, post: 195970, member: 5690"] Assuming this is for hunting purposes, and scopes in the $600 price range track the same as this test, then either brand is just fine. Even if spinning turrets. Dialed in at 500 yards that Leopold would miss by 1.92 inches. The Vortex by 0.81 inches. At 700 yards the Leopold misses by 4.65 inches. The Vortex by 1.96 inches. This is based of shooting a 6.5 eldx at 2800 fps. If a shooter is good enough to compensate for wind and actually make that shot with a scope that tracks perfectly then the errors by the leopold could be over come because they are repeatable. So for me it would come down to price and which is on sale. If the shooter is using factory ammunition then don't worry about turrets. A 20 degree temperature change can change your poi just the same as the errors with the leopold. [/QUOTE]
