I would like you guys to help me make a choice on a scope. This scope will be going on my H&R Ultra Slug Shotgun (20ga.), I will be getting it in 3-9x40, yes some may say too much, but I love the 3-9x40s.

I love the Leupold VX-II I own a few and they normally cost $299, I was looking into the Nikon Monarch UCC and found them for $218, my question is this:

How would you compare the Monarch UCC to the Leupold VX-II? Quality, warranty, reliability, etc.?

I own just one Nikon, and that is the Buckmaster, I could always take it off my old Knight Smokepole and place it on the H&R

Thank you in advance for your help
