Mr. Deer Hunter,
I was not "comparing" anything. I was making an assessment of a company's quality and customer service based on past experience as it contributed to my "choice". I don't expect anyone to make their choice based solely on my or anyone elses "opinion". Over the years I have used Burris, Bushnell, Leupold, Simmons, Weaver, and Nikon optics.
Once again, IMHO for the dollar spent I haven't done better than NIKON.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!
