For that Price you really should go with a Simmons AETEC (if eye releif is important to you) a Burris Fullfield II, Bushnell Elite 3200 or a Sightron SII. These will all be better than what you listed... These are fully multicoated (on all lenses) and have 1/4 click adjustments. The nikon pro staff is an unimpressive entry level Nikon and the Leupold low ends are overpriced... They have friction adjustment and aren't fully multicoated. By the way I have nothing against Nikon (I have three Monarch UCC's) and I have a Leupold VX-II. Both good scopes, but probably slightly overpriced IMHO.
