Scope advice for friend

[GeoNLR]

A friend of mine is wrestling with what scope to buy. He has shot a Leupold 6.5-20 EFR, loved the scope, wanted more power. Then he went to a 8.5-25X50 30mm tube scope, loved the scope except the AO would not focus all the way down to hit chickens on SB exact. We were looking at sending it in to get re-focused and then another club member came up and needed a similar scope and made him a good ca$h offer for the 8.5-25. So with $ in hand to get a Premier 18-40x40MM EFR, he is second guessing the decision  and wondering is there is not a “better mouse trap” for the money???

His requirements

Dot
¼ MOA elevation and windage
target knobs
Power in the range of 20+ on the high end



He has came up with the Hakko scopes, is this not Tasco’s custom shop? Any exp with them?

Has he found some reason to discount the Weaver T-24? AFAIK Mark Pharr has them in 1/2 Dot, 1/4 moa...

Premier also makes a 14.5x 35x 40mm EFR scope.  My friend just got one of them and llikes it.  I use the 18.5x40 Premier's on mine.

The Premier boosted scop is a good choice.  You get a lifetime warranty.  I’ve got a couple of Premier boosted scopes and have been really happy with their work and help they given me.  An 18 –40x efr for air it’s great. A 20 – 50X and a 18 – 40x for rimfire and two 14 – 35x for centrefire, I’m happy with them all.  I've looked through a lot of other scopes and there aren't too many that compare to a Leupold.
