I finally decided that Leupold fit my needs best. There was a nice fellow that PM'd me with a Vortex Viper 4-16, and I'd have probably bought that (just cause I don't have one), but I had already placed my order.

Wow! I almost hate to admit it, but I saw this thread and wanted to look at it and see what the guy was thinking. The guy was ME. Geez. Maybe I have CRS.

I'm a Nikon fan, its all I buy now. I took the Pepsi challenge at Bass Pro a few years ago and the Nikon Monarch 3.5x10-50 made my Var III Leupold 3.5x10-50 look like crap.

Well...I did try a Nikon Monarch in 4-16, but it broke within 60 days of purchase. Maybe the heavy pounding from my 223 recoil was more than it could handle. I replaced that scope with a Leupold 6-18 VXII and I like it much better than I liked the Nikon (and it hasn't broken, and probably won't). Thus ends my Nikon riflescope experiment. But...buy what makes you happy.

Personally, I like Zeiss Conquest, Leupold in Mark III & IV, and Burris in the XTR or their other scopes like Black Diamond or their target models..I have an old one w/locking crosshairs, ect
that has withstood years of pounding by several rifles including
a 300 Wtrby, and 338 Win Mag..now I gave it to my oldest son w/my
22=250..I do not care for either Burris or Leupold bottom end optics. I have a Mark IV Tactical 8.5X25 but it's expensive..also, I had and installed a number of Zeiss w/absolutely no problems..Most of the really low end items will not compare if used on hard hunting trips and long shots..Don

We put two Zeiss Scopes on two different rifles a few yrs. back
and both worked well..The 4X14 Conquest went on a 25-06 Sendero
that shoots dime groups, and the reg. Zeiss 3X9 went on a 222 SAKO that a Doc buddy of mine has owned since a child..took off a
German WWII Sniper Scope that his Dad who was one of Patton's Captains brought back..no side to side adjustments..DD
