O RING OR QUAD SEALED
« on: July 22, 2004, 12:58:07 PM »
Correct me if i am wrong.

Bushnell Elite 4200 O ring
Leupold VX III        O ring
Nikon Monarch         O ring
Burris Signature Select Quad Sealed
Zeiss Conquest          O ring

Is the Burris a better constructed product?
How does the Burris Signature Select rate against these other scopes?
Resolution?
Clarity?
Brightness?
Ruggedness?

I've never heard of "Quad Sealed."  Kinda sounds like another Burris Gimmick, kinda like their "Posi-Lock" gimmick.  Every Nikon, Leupold, Elite 4200, and other similar scopes I own don't have "Posi-Lock" and they have excellent tracking and keep their zero perfectly.  

As for the O vs. Quad Sealed, take a look at the other scopes you mentioned - Leupold, Elite 4200, Zeiss Conquest, etc.  These scopes are top notch scopes and nobody has any complaints about them.

As for clarity, resolution, etc. is concerned,  I don't know about the new Leupold VXIII, but it's hard to beat the optics found in the Elite 4200 and Zeiss Conquest.

I own a couple of Burris Black Diamonds, and I'm not impressed with them.  For the money, I'd get an Elite 4200 over a Burris BD every time.
