I have a few Kollmorgans and they compare favorably to low end modern scopes.
Id have to disagree with that statement. The Kolmorgen I have is way, way beter than a low end modern scope

I was referring to Leupolds Rifleman series, entry level Burris, Japanese Weavers, etc. I think the old Kollmorgens are as good as these but not near high end Zeiss, Leupolds VXIII's, etc.
