For the money, I don't think you can beat any of the Nikon Pro Staffs. I have had one on my Omega for almost 3 years. It gathers light really well in low light and has plenty of eye relief. If I had to buy a new scope for any of my guns today it would without a doubt be a Nikon Pro Staff.

Two weeks ago I bought a $1,000 Kimber 84m and had the wife's blessing to spend up to $500 on a scope to put on it. I put a Nikon Pro Staff 3x9x40 on it that I got for $150 at Bass Pro. What does that tell you?
