Thanks for all the replies guys!! I will run down to bass pro by my house and take a look at the three (leupold vx-3, zeiss conquest, nikon monarch). Optics planet has the zeiss conquest 3x9x40 on sale for 399.99 which I think is a really good deal. That would go along nice with my deal I got on the rifle at bass pro shops $548.99 for a Winchester model 70 featherweight in 300 win mag with the walnut stock. I spent 45 minutes with them trying to tell them the ad stated all model 70s are 25% off and finally got them to agree. Lol

Thanks again. Keep the comments coming though I am always willing to look at other options as well.
