Nikon Monarch vs. Leupold VX-III?
Looking for a scope for my .243win. considering.... setup for antelope....
Main question is does anyone like nikon rifle scopes, particularly their Monarch series? not Monarch Gold series. I notice its certainly priced lower than the vx-III's.
Leupold vx-iii 3.5-10x40 B&C reticle $560
4.5-14x40 AO(adj.obj.) B&C reticle $610
4.5-14x40 LR(30mm tube) B&C reticle $680
Nikon Monarch 3-12x42 SF(side focus) BDC reticle $430
The price isn't a deciding factor, but quality certainly is. I like the 3-12x range, not sure I like the BDC circles rather than crosshairs. Already have a vx-iii with the B&C and I like it, but I do like 3-12 better than I like 4.5-14, or 3.5-10 I'm thinking.
Any help?....
