Which Scope Nikon Or Leupold

Which scope should I get. I am going for overall value for my money. I want something that performs well in all situations. Low light, High light. Quick Focus. Something that is very durable. I have narrowed it down to 2, but will also open up any other suggestions. The two I am looking at are the Nikon 3.3-10 X 44 Monarch UCC Riflescope and the Leupold 3-9X50 VX-II Riflescope. I am shotting a remington 7600 30-06 if that matters. Thanks

Well I've never used a Nikon but I've talked toa few peopel who have and they said they absolutely love it and they'd never go back to Leupold.

I switched to Nikon on all my rifles, love them. Clear, sharp and bright!

I'm sticking with Leupold - they fixed one for me once and gained a customer for life.

I have both Nikon's and Leupold's, eye relief goes to the leupy's, brightness and clarity the Nikon's. That's not saying that all Nikon's are better JMO.

Thanks. I think I'm going to give the Leupold a try. Should I go with the standard mounts or a different type. Also, which height of rings should I go with. I have never put one on myself. Thanks

For a 7600, I would go with the one piece Weaver base with Weaver Medium rings.

Leupold.. I'm a Nikon fan and use the Monarch Binocs and will for life.. well.. never say never!

When it comes to scopes, Leupold's on all my rifles and will be for life.. well..

Gotta agree about the Nikons. I have used a variety of their optics and have yet to be trully disappointed in any of them or their service.

I had the Leupold VX-II 3-9x50mm and was a very nice scope but my Nikon Gold out performed it even with the 42 mm Obj. lens. I"™m not sure how the Monarch UCC would compare to the Gold but they should be very close. I would think that the Leupold customer service would be exceptional from what everyone has be saying although I have never had to deal with them. Good luck with you new scope.
