I've got a couple of sets of the Leupolds too and they are good (after you get past the idea of cramming your scope down into them). But the Talleys do seem to be in a class by themselves. I don't think I'd put them on just any rifle, but for a big bore, you may want to consider them. I felt like a fool for buying them, but after getting them set up and seeing them perform, I'm glad I went with them. Usually if I get something and have regrets about it, I'll say so rather bluntly and call myself an idiot for wasting my money. In this case, I think it was a good thing.
