Check them out for yourself if you can. I had my mind made up on a Leupold, but after I played with it and a Nikon, I quickly changed my mind. The Nikon was more user friendly, simple and easier to read. I ended up buying a used Nikon 600 off of Ebay that was just like new. I think I paid a little under $200 shipped.

Again, check them out first. Two or three different times if you can.
