Hello GlockandRoll.
I never said that I was a Navy Seal; just raised by one. I was in the Army and also trained with the Navy Seals. As far as the Mil Dot goes, they are tried and true but very slow if you don't have a second person working out the calculations for range and hold over. I have no problem with them at all. As far the the Shepherd being garbage that is just a matter of opinion. I have used them in the field and never lost zero. It has functioned without a problem in temperatures from -15 to +130. My rifle has been banged around and I have never had a problem with the scope. The only thing that I wish it did have was a side focus. Just like anything that you buy, you will have better luck with one over the other and everybody will make a lemon now and again. I could sit here and tell you horer stories about Leupolds M3A that are standard on the M24 and problems that I have had with them but is doesn't make them junk. At a cost of $1300 for the M3A compared to $700 for my V2, I have had better results from my Shepherd. As far as a bubble level on your scope and or base I totaly agree with you. It will save you a lot of trouble and headache if you have them. I have no experiance with the Super Sniper scope so I can't say much about them, just that I have not heard anything bad about them. I have heard that they are fairly inexpensive for what you get.
