I have an older model Leupold Varx2on my 25.06 and just recently picked up a Nikon Prostaff at a price i couldn't refuseand put on my 30.06. I have to say the Nikon has really impressed me with it's brightness and clarity but i personally don't think it's any better than my old Leupold. Both are very good scopes andi would buy either again and not think twice about it.
