Randy,
Do you have any experience with the Smith & Wesson line of scopes? They say they are made in one of the Premier Scope Factories in Japan. Are these made in the same place as the Bushnell Elites? They have a lot of similar features, including what they call RainShield, sounds like it could be like the RainGuard. I ordered one in a 1.5-6X38 w/5" of eye relief yesterday after contemplating it and could not get anyone to answer a couple posts that has any experience with them. Here is a brief description of what I am talking about and hopefully a pic. Oh, I only paid $129.99 brand new, retails for $399. Should be here later this week. Thanks for any information on this line.
