Danny45 - I concure with you from talking to others at gun shops that sell both Nikkon and Leupold. I' d save the extract money to step up to the Nikkon Monarch though. Compare it to the Leupold and others similar scopes. The lense coatings really do seem to bring in more light, making the target look sharper.

Also, the no-fault guarantee with the Nikkon was a big reason I bought one.
