I have a Docter Optics 3 - 9 x 40, and it is excellent quality with very clear glass. They are made in Germany, and were originally part of the Carl Zeiss line.

About four months ago, I thought about trading mine, until I looked it up and saw that it was going for 4 -5 times more than what I paid for it new in 2005. If you can get the money right, I don't believe you'll be sorry.

X2 w/ Pat! I got a Docter 3x9x40 on my Steyr and love it! I wish I would have gone bigger but 3 bills was the most I was willing to fork out about 10 years ago....

Jason, now I know why you said you liked mine when you shot it...you already had one! :lol:

I had a Docter scope in Germany. They were the East German Zeiss/Jena line before the wall came down, once they started operating on their own they changed to Docter v/s Karl Zeiss Jena.

They are great scopes but they are not like new Zeiss scopes.

In Germany, we hunted with 56mm scopes for night boar hunting. We couldn't use spotlights so the 56mm's would really bring in the illumination for us. All in all, you will not regret buying a Docter.
