Thanks for all the replies everyone. I' m really torn between this scope and a Nikon 4-12x44 at the link handloader1 posted for around the same price. Guess I' ll get my new rifle first then worry about the scope second. I have a Nikon 3-9x40 that is really great but I' d like a little more power and light. I could have shot my elk a few days sooner this year if I had both of those.
