Iv'e been reading so much about scopes, I'm probabely almost confused. The Sportsmans Guide carrys a good selection of Nikon and Vortex scopes at what appears to be very reasonable prices. I seem to remember some of you saying that the Vortex line is a good line and of course so is Nikon. I tried to find the thread where the Votex was reccomended, but could not. Weren't there some of you who have or have had them and found them to be well made and reliable? I'm getting the idea that any of the mid-range and up from Leupold, Burris, Sightron, Nikon, Vortex, Bushnell, and a couple others would be a good choice. Please give me some feedback------John
