    I'm planning on adding a scope to my PTR-91, better known as a H&K G3 clone. Does anybody have any experience with the ATN line of scopes? This one has all the goodies that I'm looking for. If you have another suggestion feel free to let me know. The price range of this one is appealing to me.

    I looked on the auction side several weeks ago. Prices were higher than both Midway and Wal-Mart. The old eyes ain't what they used to be. I'm not talking bad, but a 200 yard shot last Fall with a 4X just made me uncomfortable. Time to dial up.

    Dano, I don't remember the model, just the 4X12 for $249.99.

    Don't buy it, just because it says Leupold. At that price it is most likely one of their lower series, the VX-I, or the Rifleman. Look at a Burris Full Field II, or a Sightron SII, near the magnification range you are looking for. The innovation at Leupold has been outsource to Asia, and make cheaply, then sell for competitors price range, while the quality is not there. IMHO, Leupold is no longer an authority in riflescopes.
