Buy the Nikon, don't waste your money on the Lupy. I bought a MK 4 tactical, spent close to a grand on it. 5 whole shots and the reticle broke. IMO leupold quality has suffered a ton in the last 10 years or so. They got so wound up being the big guy on the block with the big reputation that quality started to suffer. They still have a good warranty, and great customer service, but do you really want to be dealing with great customer service and warranty when something breaks at the most inopportune time, say a hunting trip out west???
