It seems to me that there are a lot of companies doing a lot of things right when it comes to precision optics. This seems to apply across the spectrum of cost be it $500 or $5000. I am likely to find something suitable for shooting out to 1000 in just about any price range as long as I am diligent in my research and choices made. With all of this in mind, does the PMII still rank as not only a Tier 1 scope but also as a prudent purchase? This is coming from a guy not afraid to drop the coin on a piece of equipment if it means getting something that functions at a level which inspires confidence or rather removes reason for doubt.
