Natchez SS has the Nikon Omega 3-9x40 on sale for $190 in silver or RealTree (for some reason the matte is $250). Don't know anything about the scope, but I have heard that some people do not like the extended eye relief. I have a Leupold Ultimate Slam (3-9x40) on my Omega, and the eye relief on that is plenty, and I don't mind the 3x like I thought I woud. It has held zero perfectly and gives me a crystal clear sight picture, but it was a PAIN IN THE ASS to zero (I think there is something wrong with my turrets...will be contacting Leupold after the the season).
