I used to like Nikon, relatively cheap, rugged and picture, then they quit the hunting scope business for the usual idiotic reasons. When I got older and needed a scope for long range rifle shooting a fellow I have great respect for in that field told me, if at all possible, try to get a look through one before you buy it, everybody is different and some scopes just don't work well for some people. He was right, Leupold scopes don't provide a good picture for me, my son swears by them, Nikon and Vortex, most models, work very we'll for me.
